Custody modification: Shweta needs $600 before the deadline
Shweta needs $600 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the October deadline.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Mumbai 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 $600 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $130
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
• Attorney retainer: $460
Thanks for being kind about this.

Sending love. Shared this with my family. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
best of luck, Shweta. Shared it with a few friends.
Stay strong, Shweta. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Iloilo City
Hang in there, Shweta. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Mumbai.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
How is Shweta doing now?
Stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Tlaquepaque!
Sending strength. Hope you get there. Sent it to 35 people at work. Love from Abbottabad
Wishing you peace, Shweta. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Sending good thoughts, Shweta. Hope you get there.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
