Custody modification: Piper needs $2,350 before the deadline
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Piper can't afford the lawyer.
🇺🇸 Erie, Pennsylvania, United States2,658 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. 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 Erie 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $560
• Certified translations and document copies: $290
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
