Hugo is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,250. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Hugo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Malmö Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Hugo 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 $3,250 goes: • Certified translations and document copies: $200 • Attorney retainer: $2,650 • Filing and biometrics fees: $400 Thank you for reading my story.
