Custody modification: Lorenzo needs $1,150 before the deadline

A custody modification deadline is approaching and Lorenzo can't afford the lawyer.

Lorenzo is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline. Lorenzo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Irapuato Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid. If the deadline is missed Lorenzo 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. 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 $1,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $950 • Certified translations and document copies: $45 • Filing and biometrics fees: $155 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Graciela
