I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline. I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Phoenix Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid. If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know. I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along. Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer. Where the $2,350 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $165 • Attorney retainer: $1,550 • Filing and biometrics fees: $635 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

        is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abril.

        • Abril L. GómezOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

          Certified translations and document copies is $165 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
