GAL Motion Filed/ Custody Hearing Date
Hi everyone,
Paternity Case: As of right now, the hearing set for this Friday (March 1st) is still happening. My attorneys and I have filed a motion with the court requesting that a GAL be appointed for Jaxon in this case. For those that don't know, GAL stands for "guardian ad litem". It is an attorney appointed by the court to directly represent THE CHILD'S interests in a court matter, without regard to petitioner or respondent desires. We have been informed via attorneys that the bio mother will be opposing this motion.
Custody Case: A hearing date to obtain custody orders has finally been set. Unfortunately, opposing council states that their firm is booked through the next several months and unable to attend any court dates. So, the hearing is not until May 21st.

Sam's Benefit Snowed Out
Sadly, the benefit Sam Hozdulick was holding on February 24th was snowed out. She is looking for a date to reschedule the brunch benefit. I will update this blog when she lets me know when it will be.

Case and Benefit Update
Hi everyone,
Case Update:
We are still being delayed by opposing council in setting a hearing for the custody case, so I have no update on that right now. The paternity hearing is still set for March 1st. My ex and her council are attempting to delay that hearing as well, but hopefully it will happen as planned. They also filed a motion opposing my paternity case.
Additionally, a motion has been filed to seal the case, and effectively silence me. We are certainly going to fight this effort. This is not my website, so it may remain up with simply this blog, the only part of the site I have access to, disappearing or changing hands if the motion to eliminate my right to speak is won.
Benefit Update:
In "unrelated" news, the benefit that Tranzcend threw this past weekend was a fabulous success. There was so much love and support in the room. Many people feel passionately about this issue as they have experienced the same thing themselves. There was $1000 raised directly from the show, with the funds from gift certificate purchases not having been counted yet. As the gift certificates are an on-going fundraiser, I will not have numbers for that for a while.
This case just keeps getting more complex. Please donate if you can. Come to the events people are producing and promoting. Before you hand your card over at Eden, buy a gift certificate! You spend the same amount, but money goes to the fund.
I am so grateful for all of the people who have stepped up, donated what they can, and taken a stand: friends, family, and total strangers. I feel a little like I fell down the rabbit hole with everything being upside down and sideways, but my focus has not, and will not, change. I just need your help to get there.
If you cannot donate, which I clearly can understand, please spread the word. The more people that know about my son and I, the more opportunities there are for assistance. And nobody should ever be as naive as I was - they need to know what can happen.
This upcoming Sunday, the 24th, is the benefit Sam Hozdulick is having at Eden. Please come have brunch - with a gift certificate!

Benefit by Tranzcend: "Let's Hear It For The Boy"
Petition for Paternity
Hello!
My attorneys and I have filed a Petition for Paternity. This means we now have two cases pending. There has been precedent set in Colorado, at the Supreme Court level, that paternity is not dependent on biology. There is also a prior case setting precedent that gender is not relevant; a second female may be granted paternity. A ruling that grants me paternity will have the same effect that the second-parent adoption would have had. I would become Jaxon's other legal parent, and his birth certificate would be changed. Bio-parent consent is not required.
The first hearing in the paternity case is March 1st. We are being greatly delayed in setting a hearing date for the custody case, but expect to have one set shortly.
Thank you for reading and liking the site!!
Take care,
Jill
