I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,600. 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $2,600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,500
• Filing and biometrics fees: $760
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Robert
Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($508). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $445 so far, I made the first payment toward filing and biometrics fees.
