Custody modification: Anthony needs $2,400 before the deadline
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Anthony can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Ohio, United States2,202 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,400. 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 Columbus 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $310
• Certified translations and document copies: $145
• Attorney retainer: $1,945
Thank you so much.
