I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,050. 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 Hamilton 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 $1,050 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
• Certified translations and document copies: $240
• Filing and biometrics fees: $680
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
hope this works out for you. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Mansoura.
take care, Axel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 22 people at work
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Hamilton.
Stay strong, Axel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
