What is this?

Basically this blog is like the tin cup a street beggar holds and I'm asking for donations. My husband and I have been married for almost 8 years. We have 7 kids between the 2 of us. I had 3, he had 2 and we have 2 together. They are ages 14, 12.5, 10, 10, 10, 5.5 and 3. Yes- 3 10 yr olds. His 2 were twins and they are the same age as my daughter.
In the last almost 8 years we have spent over $14,000 in legal fees. Most of them were fighting my husband's ex-wife for visitation. She was keeping the children from him and hiring a lawyer was necessary. A judge had to ORDER her and threaten her before she would let the twins come. Why? Basically she was mad my husband remarried. Over the last few years we've had a working order out of Utah that includes that she pays 50% of visitation costs because she moved out of the country making the costs OUTRAGEOUS. We were served with new papers from the court this past week where she is trying to have it changed to my husband paying ALL travel costs, more child support, cover 1/2 of all their extra curricular activities, and any other money she can get her hands on. She says she can no longer afford to help pay with visitation. I would be more understanding of her situation because we are in the same boat, if it wasn't for the facts that in the last 6 months she has traveled cross country for a Madonna concert, gone to the Bahamas for 10 days and to Ireland for 2 weeks. She is also planning a trip to Disneyland in April. Can we say "Priorities"??
There is so much MORE I could tell- like detail the lies in her affidavit, but I will not do that online. If you are interested in details you can email me at beattheex@gmail.com . I am a very open and honest person. I will not exagerrate and I will not lie.
So I am not exagerrating or lying when I tell you we have no funds to fight these papers she has filed in Canada. Just to retain a lawyer it is about $5500 CAN which equals about $4400 USD. A good lawyer charges about $300 an hour. This is a complex case so I can see it running into the 10s of thousands of dollars. So... that's where you come in. I am asking anyone who reads this blog to PLEASE donate to my "x" fund- even if it's a penny WE WILL TAKE IT.
Thank you so much in advance. And even if you don't donate can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pass on a link to this blog?? The more it gets out there in the Blog World the better chance we have of collecting our lawyer's retainer fee. :)

Edited to add:
Just so you don't think my husband and I are sitting around waiting for everyone to take care of us:
My husband is a police officer. He works 12 hour shifts and picks up overtime at least 2 days a week.
I am home with our 5 and 3 year old. I also watch a 15 mth old, a 7 month old and a 5 year old in my home, Monday thru Friday from 7am until 5:30pm. On Tuesdays I watch a 20 month old in addition to the other kids. I am also currently taking an online course to become a medical transcriptionist.
We do all this just to make ends meet.
