A Father's Fight.
A System Built From It.

In March 2023, my marriage ended. Three kids. She said we'd do this amicably.

I'd spent years helping her build her business to $250k a year. She was leaving with it. Meanwhile, I was building my own thing — mushroom merch, books on microdosing — right at the peak of Colorado's decriminalization wave. She'd supported it during the marriage. Texted about dosing. Offered guests tours.

Then the divorce started and she saw an opportunity. Take the kids. Smear my mental health. Destroy my business. All at once.

The CPS reports started in December 2023. Two filed within 24 hours, both claiming I had "schizoaffective disorder." I have no such diagnosis. Then came false child abuse allegations. Police. Search warrants approved but never executed — no probable cause. On body cam, she told the officer the quiet part: "My biggest thing is, I want custody of my kids right now."

Not safety. Not concern. Custody. That's the motive behind every report, every call, every institution she weaponized.

Through all of it: 11 CPS reports, all cleared. 4 police cases, all closed, zero charges. 2 emergency motions denied. She owes $63,000 in support and hasn't paid. Her stepfather offered me $100K, then $200K, to sign away my kids and disappear.

I told him I wouldn't let him screw up my kids for 100 million. I had a lawyer for the first emergency motion, but I built that case myself with AI over two sleepless days — then argued with her to file it. Now I'm fully pro se, with AI as my co-counsel.

Every guide tells you to "document everything." That's overwhelming and mostly wrong. Most of what you write down yourself isn't admissible. What judges actually rely on is official records from institutions.

Every time an institution touches your case — CPS, police, school, doctor, therapist — they create a record. Request that record. Every time. That's the evidence that survives to a judge and to a ruling.
