🇮🇹 Lazio, Italy4,295 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,950. 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 the Latina Community Legal 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 $2,950 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
• Attorney retainer: $2,600
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength, Lorenzo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Stay strong. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Makati.
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Seongnam.
Thinking of you, Lorenzo. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
