Give Him Grace — Louisiana Statewide Paternal Advocacy Network

"A father should never have to pay a dime to be in his child's life. And no child should grow up without their father because he couldn't afford to fight for them."

— Romonda Eschete, Founder

// What They Don't Tell You

Louisiana family court has a dirty secret. The system is not designed for fairness. It is designed for whoever can afford to stay in it longest. And in almost every case — that is not the father.

Fathers guaranteed 50/50 at the start

// The System Is Broken in Three Ways

Issue 01

The 50/50 Lie

Louisiana law does not guarantee fathers equal custody as a starting point. The only way a father walks into court with automatic 50/50 is if the mother is deceased. Every other father starts at a deficit — fighting uphill against a system that treats paternal involvement as something to be earned rather than protected.

Issue 02

The Financial Gate

The minimum cost to retain an attorney and file for custody in Louisiana is $4,500. Most fathers don't have it. They walk in alone, unprepared, and structurally outmatched. Justice in Louisiana family court costs money most fathers simply don't have.

Issue 03

No Man Should Pay to See His Child

Child support was designed to support children — not to punish fathers. A father's financial obligation to his child should never come before his right to be present. Give Him Grace exists to pull it back.

// What Give Him Grace Does About It

Give Him Grace exists to put fathers in court who can't afford to get there — across every parish in Louisiana where the system is stacked against them.

We are not a law firm. We are the network that makes sure no father ever walks into a Louisiana courtroom alone, unprepared, or financially outmatched again.

Every dollar donated goes directly toward legal fee assistance for fathers who cannot afford the $4,500 minimum to fight for their children.

// What Grace Actually Means

Grace is not forgiveness for a broken system. Grace is not turning the other cheek while your child grows up without you.

Grace is resistance.

It is the relentless, structured, documented pursuit of equal standing in a system designed to deny it. The refuge for every father who has been broken — and the force that turns their pain into collective, unmistakable accountability.

If the system broke you, Give Him Grace was built for you. Your pain is not the end of the story. It is the beginning of ours.

// Notice to Every Judge in Louisiana

Give Him Grace is building a statewide judicial intelligence network — tracking rulings, patterns, and outcomes in every Louisiana parish where fathers are being systematically disadvantaged.

Every ruling that separates a father from his child without documented cause will be timestamped, recorded, and entered into a permanent public record accessible to fathers, advocates, and attorneys statewide.

"If your ruling cannot be explained by the evidence in the record — we will find it, document it, and make sure Louisiana knows about it. Every judge in this state should consider this their notice."
