After moving to the United States six years ago, my ex-husband wouldn’t allow me to make any friends. As a result, when he filed a false restraining order against me, I had no one to turn to.

It was the worst experience of my life. I had had issues with my ex-husband before, but this time was different. It involved my son. My ex-husband was trying to keep him away from me, and it brought me to a really, really dark place. I had never been away from my son before – not even for a day.

I called so many numbers, but they all went to voicemail. No one made me feel heard until I found Open Door Legal. I cannot put into words how much Open Door Legal has helped me. The people there were kind, generous, and patient. They are angels to me. They have become my family in this country.

Open Door Legal fought for me to divorce my ex-husband and to regain custody of my son. The day that I was reunited with him was one of the best days of my life. My hope and positivity have returned. I am so excited to turn the page on my past and to enter a new chapter of my life with my son.
