Help a Father Stand Against Parental Erasure
I’m a father in Colorado fighting to stay in my daughter’s life.
There are no allegations of abuse. No claims of neglect. No evidence of danger.
Yet I am facing the loss of parenting time — not because I failed her, but because I asked questions.
When my daughter suddenly changed how she identified, I wasn’t consulted. The shift was encouraged by a school-appointed therapist and supported by my co-parent without my knowledge. I was cut out of the conversation. And when I voiced concern, I was branded as the problem.
The court-appointed investigator recommended a reduction in my time with her. Not based on harm — but on the fact that I didn’t immediately affirm what I didn’t yet understand.
Now the judge is using a controversial ruling (In re Marriage of Dale) to claim that reducing my parenting time isn’t a “restriction,” just an “improvement in quality.” That decision is now being appealed — and it’s setting a dangerous precedent that could impact every parent in the state.
This is no longer just my fight. It’s about whether a fit, loving parent can lose their child simply for disagreeing with an ideology — and whether the courts can redefine restrictions to sidestep the legal protections we all depend on.
I’m raising funds to continue the legal fight and to protect my family from the consequences of going public with this case.
If you believe that parenting should never be stripped away without clear and convincing evidence of harm, please consider supporting me.
Every dollar helps me hold the line — for my daughter, and for every parent facing the same threat.
Thank you for standing with me.
Thank you for sharing your story at last night's judicial trail.
Praying for you brother!
We need more standing up in Colorado.
100% behind you. We're in a similar situation
Hang in there and keep fighting & praying
Rooting for you.
You and your daughter have been the victims of a grave injustice. Never stop fighting.
I wish I could give more! Never stop fighting! God be with you and give you strength!
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Thank you for giving such a powerful, straight forward and necessary speech to your ELECTED OFFICIALS. They, and school personnel seem to have forgotten that they are there to represent the tax payer and provide an education, not an indoctrination.
Praying for your family. Keep looking up.
May the Lord bless you as you fight for your daughter!
Fight like hell buddy

I received a suggestion to update with the official status of my court situation currently. I thought it was a great idea. Here is the minute order from the judge regarding the decision. The CFI’s findings and suggestion was to remove my parenting decision making and give it solely to my ex and the parenting time was suggested to move to 80/20 where only have my daughter every other weekend. Thanks again for all the support.

For everyone that has followed from the beginning, as an update. I lost the court battle with a magistrate with my ex. I have strong grounds for appeal and will be researching what that looks like. I have many people who have experience in this system around me but unfortunately no actual legal representation… yet. If that changes I’ll update again. Thank you to everyone who has already supported me. The donations so far have gone towards my family properly preparing to protect ourselves from veiled threats we have already been receiving. If you’re one of the ones making those threats, please don’t act on them. My family will put our safety first.
