GoFundMe Launches as 'Unexpected' Teen's Father Seeks Custody of Son and Grandson

Overview

• A family member created a GoFundMe to fund legal fees for Casey and his wife, Brettney, and it had raised $2,400 toward a $2,800 goal as of publication.
• Casey recently filed motions asking for full custody of 14-year-old Hunter and infant Wes and for tighter limits on contact and phone use, and the court has not ruled.
• A temporary order issued in November set a 50/50 split between Casey and Hunter’s mother, Stacie, barred overnight stays at girlfriend Bella’s house, required school attendance, and prohibited harassment.
• His filings claim Stacie allowed banned overnights and failed to ensure school attendance and allege Bella’s parents track Hunter through a phone, which he cites in asking to bar unsupervised time.
• The case is drawing extra attention because the family appears on TLC’s Unexpected and because Hunter’s son was conceived when the pair were 12 and 14, raising concerns about supervision and safety.
