Help Henry with custody modification filing and attorney fees
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Henry can't afford the lawyer.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom1,535 views
Henry is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,800. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Henry has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Leicester Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Henry 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 $2,800 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,750
• Filing and biometrics fees: $750
• Certified translations and document copies: $165
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $135
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you the best, Pamela. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Miami.
Thinking of you and your family. Shared it with a few friends. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Pamela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
sending good thoughts, Pamela. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending strength, Pamela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Hubballi this morning. Blessings.
