Update to this post.

(This update was delayed because I was so completely exhausted and needed the entire weekend to rest.)

My notice of appeal was accepted, to the frustration of my wife's representation. The order to have my son deported was stayed indefinitely pending an appeals hearing which is scheduled for the 17th of June. But we need to be ready long before then.

I am still trying to find a solicitor to take my case, but it should be easier now that there's time to prepare. I'm being told that the upfront costs could be between €1,500 and €3,000, so I'll start by assuming the worst and ask for €3,000. I also know that family law cases can easily reach €25,000 when they're all said and done.

I need at least €3,000 for upfront legal costs (including any related fees and transportation to appear in court).

Our basic needs are being met, but I could always use help with other expenses like clothes and toys. All of the money received will only be used to pay for legal representation, unless you allow otherwise. Thank you so much for any help you can give us. We really appreciate it.

Update to this post.

I have not been able to find a solicitor in time for the appeal's reading, so I have to appear myself. I've been told what to do, I just have to do it without throwing up or passing out. There's a good chance that because I haven't secured representation yet that the order to remove my son from the country will be stayed or at least delayed until I can be allowed to make an argument properly.

Wish me luck.

Even if they don't, even if the worst comes to pass, I am still fighting this like my son's life depends on it - because it really does.

I need about €50 ASAP to cover travel expenses and fees related to filing documents for the appeal.

The quotes I got for up-front legal expenses vary wildly, but I need at least €1,500 to start. Please help us in any way you can. We greatly appreciate it.

And if anyone can recommend an Irish solicitor, that would also be great.

Update to this post.

Thanks to some very quick help, I succeeded in filing the notice of appeal on time. It was something of a miracle that I managed to pull it off. The money I generously received was just enough to take care of everything. Thank you very much, you all know who. Now that that part is taken care of I can focus on getting a new solicitor.

I have no idea how much it will cost (or how much I will need up front) but the research I've done so far says that family law cases in Ireland can run up to €25,000. When I get a more accurate figure, I'll update the post. For now, that's the goal. Same for when I find out how much I need up front.

Please help us in any way you can. Please share this post with anyone you think can help out. We both appreciate it very much.

If you want more information about what is happening, I'll share what I can. If you have any question or can offer help in another way, please DM me. Thank's everyone. It still feels dire, but we're making progress thanks to you. :)

Some of you may remember me. Back in October 2025, I was desperately seeking assistance to leave Japan due to the growing inability to care for my son after my wife was abusive towards both of us and then abandoned us in the hopes we would come crawling back to her.

To all of those people that helped me back them, thank you so very much. But now he's in more danger than ever before.

Copied post from elsewhere:

My name is Aeron, and I had previously been an English teacher in Japan, which is also where my now four-year-old son was born.

Despite my best efforts to prevent it, me and my wife began having marital trouble which led to every parent’s worst nightmare; my son was physically and emotionally abused at the age of seven months at the hands of my wife’s parents in an attempt to separate him from me inside my own apartment. He was abused again at the age of two at my wife’s hands. After this, me and my son lived separately from her, hoping to find some way to repair things and continue to be a family in spite of everything. But things only got worse from there.

Instead of sitting down and working things out, my wife spent a year and a half threatening us with police and legal action, taking efforts to prevent me from providing medical care and schooling for my son, and being verbally abusive to me. Then she disappeared from our lives altogether. I tried going on alone but the Japanese government refused me any kind of assistance. Things reached a point where the only way to properly care for my then three-year-old son was to seek asylum in another country.

We have been in Ireland for six month now. He now has proper medical coverage, goes to school, has made real friends, and we are both finally starting to recover from our prolonged trauma.

However, once my wife found out, she began pursuing us in Irish court claiming child abduction. Because we’re still on financial support, I had to rely on free legal aid to represent myself. In spite of being shown evidence of abuse, abandonment, and my wife expressing mental instability and suicidal thoughts, the court is ruling in her favor and wasting no time preparing to forcibly deport my still recovering son back to Japan to be placed in the care of the woman who abused him in the first place.

We need your help to secure proper legal representation to prevent this miscarriage of justice.

It is unreal how the people of Ireland have cared for us and helped us at a level that I was so not used to that it made me feel embarrassed to accept it, while at the same time the Irish Courts seem to be mimicking the Japanese authorities in condemning us for daring to escape domestic violence.

Please help us, please help him! We have finally gotten medical confirmation that both of us are suffering physical manifestations of our trauma. This evidence will be presented to the court, but only if I can pay for a private solicitor.

Additionally, as of this moment we have no representation in the courts, and I have to file a notice of appeal on my own. To do this, I have to perform a cartoonishly-bizarre dance of finding childcare for my son where we live and then traveling halfway across the country to appear in court in-person to present the notice on time. Even if I pull it off, there's no guarantee that the judge will grant a hearing, so this is the closest to complete failure I've ever come as a father.

~~I immediately need ~€200 just to make the journey this coming Monday.~~ Thank you!

After that, I will need upwards to €25,000 to cover the cost of legal fees. But that can be collected over time.

I will continue to update this post (and make new posts) as things progress. Thank you all again, for being there when we needed you and thank you all for helping us again to escape this living nightmare.

And if anyone reading this just so happens to know someone in Ireland who can help me with the urgent need for childcare and travel, please DM me. I need to arrange things THIS WEEKEND, despite it being a holiday weekend.
