After a bumpy road of parentage agreement for the last 7 years, I am requesting that the judge allow me to move out of "The land with no opportunity" (Springfield, IL), and move to Florida. Mediation has been ordered for appropriate visitation time. I have sole custody of my children, I receive minimum child support and my children's relationship with their dad is a little shattered and torn.

I believe that the father/child (ren) relationship can be strengthened by having one to two week visitation times, as they will be more valued and cherished.

Florida is booming with Customer Service and other career opportunities. I have applied at many positions and have already been called back for interviews.

The education opportunities are great as well. For my children and myself. Better schools, safer neighborhoods and career paths are all opportunity for us, as a family.

I have had sole custody, care, in charge of education, been a single mom to these children since my first born was 6 months old and I was 7 weeks pregnant to my daughter. I have had very minimal financial help from their father and no help in raising my children. That includes the day of my daughters birth, the day she came near death but was saved by God's grace.

Im begging and pleading to allow me this opprtunity to be the best mom and woman I can be. Please help by signing my petition today.

I promise, I won't let you down.
