My s/o recently up and left his family of 20yrs this past July. He has all of his belongings and has been out of the house for around 2.5 months. No explanation was just gone. Fast forward to sept. My daughter and I lost our home to fire…everything we had ruined… My daughter’s father started a go fund me thru his organization and raised a good amount to get us back on our feet…well, once the money came he took half stating since it was his “hook up,” he was entitled. My daughter and I are left to figure out how to pick up the pieces while he runs off with the funds…he lost nothing…We lost it all… My question is …is he entitled to the money raised to help me and my daughter rebuild …just because he started it?

You could attempt to take him to court. GoFund me has a policy that ensures money goes where it was promised. You should look more into it here: https://charitysupport.gofundme.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035582691-Reporting-fraud
There is a link to report that you’re the beneficiary of a fundraiser, and the organizer hasn’t delivered the money to you.

He is not entitled to any of the money. Report him.
I would put him on blast. He basically took his daughters money cause it should go toward getting a roof over her head, new clothing and food.

My first instinct was report his ass. But he is your daughters father (mind you he cares less due to his actions), so mail him a notice asking him to give all the money he kept to you (via certified signature receipt returned) or you will be forced to report him. Warn him that once its been reported its6out of your hands and he will have to face the consequences alone. Give him 30 to 60 days. That makes you look like the person trying every effort to be an adult and caring for your family (unlike him). Good luck and hope all turns around for you. God bless
Go after him for go fund me some child support and say ur daighter entitled since he abandoned his child simple
You can either do as everyone is suggesting and go after him if you want the added stress of a battle with him on top of losing everything and having to rebuild, or you can let the prospect of money go and not have that added drama in your life at this difficult time to add to your stress level. Once upon a time there was no go fund me page and people recovered from such events, it is possible. Sure, the extra money would make it easier materially, but at what cost emotionally?
Let karma take care of him and just get on with life without him infecting your short time on this planet.
Sorry this happened to you and all the very best whatever you decide to do x
No its illegal and you can press charges
Blast his ass! What kind of trash does something like this?
Depends if your married or not. 20 years, one could argue domestic partnership, assuming you both own the home(varies per state).If it’s owned, then yes, he gets half. If renting, then no… domestic partnership has ended previously. He lost nothing in the home since he already moved out. If you’re not married…, it’s fraud.
Umm…isn’t that fraud?

Absolutely not, he has taken money off people for one reason and not done it. Pretty sure it’s fraud. There was an post a while back about a couple and a homeless guy who lied and was going to split the money and they didn’t and they got in a lot of trouble xx

Uh no? Everybody that donated was donating to your family to replace what you lost in the fire, not donating money to him to spend on himself.
That’s definitely fraud
Don’t they have insurance?
Contact GoFundMe, they will recover the funds. Its fraud and he could do jail time.

He is by no means entitled to anything of that gofundme that was for you and your daughter’s loss nothing to him and it’s fraud and theft what he did - could possibly be jail time according to how much he took from it - he is a true piece of crap to do that to you and your child.

Report him for fraud
100% that’s fraud and I would go to the people above him at his organization to let them know.
Blast him on all social media platforms. Don’t call him bad names, just say EXACTLY what happened so he can’t come back at you for defamation of character. If he doesn’t pay you after that, warn him you’ll file for small claims court AND contact gofundme. Hopefully that will scare him enough to give you the money. If he still doesn’t, stay true to your word and go to small claims court. Make sure you have a screenshot of the gofundme that it was for you and your daughter because of the fire.

Go fund me with go after him for it. File a claim
No if it stayed on the go fund me that the money was for you and your daughter then no if he put in it that the funds raised he would be entitled to half even tho he didn’t live there and lost nothing then yeah he would be but I highly doubt he put that on the go fund me because no one would have donated tbh ,I would put up a public fb post naming and shaming him and tell everyone exactly what he did and let them be judge , u can also report him to go fund me and police because technically if he didn’t include his little scam on the go fund me then it’s fraud
