Disabled father left with crushing debt after 2 years of defeating false accusations that have attempted to remove me from my son's life.
My name is Jason Alexander, and I am fighting to protect my relationship with my son, Noah.
This is not a standard divorce or custody disagreement, nor is my financial situation the result of irresponsible spending. I have faced two separate, multi-day restraining order trials. One in 2023 and another that just concluded in August 2026. In both instances, after reviewing the evidence, the court completely dismissed the cases against me, validating my absolute innocence. These accusations were fabricated entirely to sever my relationship with my son and have 0 basis in truth. In 2024, shortly after the first case was dismissed, the divorce was filed for. Since then, I have wanted nothing but to move on with my life peacefully, and to have our son maintain a positive relationship with both of his parents.
While I am relieved the record is clear, surviving these trials has financially devastated me. The true story goes far deeper than what I am willing to post publicly, but the resulting financial reality is documented in the images linked below. My initial 2023 trial cost roughly $25,000 (a $10,000 retainer plus the $15,432.20 final invoice shown). The recent 2026 trial cost an additional $26,753. I paid these entirely on credit cards.
To protect our marital home from foreclosure, I drained my remaining savings paying the full mortgage for over a year after relocating to Arkansas for my safety, while my ex-wife occupied the home and refused to contribute until the bank was threatening foreclosure and the court ordered her to keep the payments current. They would not order the home be sold however, despite my request. With my savings depleted, I took a $15,000 cash advance on my Logix card just to continue making the minimum payments on my debt while waiting for the court to approve the sale of the house.
Of my roughly $72,000 in total credit card debt, over $65,000 is directly tied to defending myself in court and keeping myself financially afloat during the process. I want to be clear that this is not a case of reckless overspending.
I manage severe inflammatory arthritis. I am trying to get approved for SSDI, and am fighting a recent denial. Earlier this week, I attempted to donate plasma, but due to recently being put on a low dose prednisone to manage my arthritis pain, I was deferred. As long as I am on Prednisone, I will not be allowed to donate.
Recently, a close friend of mine randomly gave me a donation to help with my legal fees (I did not ask). After giving me the money, he said I had a powerful testimony and should share my story on GoFundMe, so I did. In order to get the word out, I am now sharing that story here.
I do have equity in my home that could be used to pay all of my debts, but since my ex is refusing to sell and the courts will not order the house to be sold until later in the divorce process, I cannot access this equity. As such, I am stuck drowning in debt and legal fees until the court decides to order the house be sold. We have a trial scheduled for May 2027, but the way things have been delayed, I’m not even sure it will be resolved by then.
The funds I am raising will go strictly toward making the minimum monthly payments on my debt, and paying my ongoing legal expenses as needed to finalize my divorce and protect my son until the marital house is sold. I am asking for help to bridge the gap until my property settlement is finalized so I do not lose my son in the process.
Thank you for reading. If you cannot donate, sharing this link means the world to us.
