Help Beth with custody modification filing and attorney fees
Beth needs $2,600 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the July deadline.
🇳🇿 Auckland, New Zealand2,525 views
Beth is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Beth has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Auckland Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Beth 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 $2,600 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Attorney retainer: $2,450
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Auckland. I'll ask around and let you know!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Beth?
Thank you. If you're in Auckland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace, Sophia. I hope things turn around soon.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Derry.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Pasig this morning.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes!
wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
