Heather is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Heather has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Heather could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,150 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,550
• Filing and biometrics fees: $310
• Certified translations and document copies: $115
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $175

Rooting for you, Levi. Looking forward to the next update.
Good luck, Levi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Shared this with my family. Love from Warsaw
