Help Shirley with custody modification filing and attorney fees
Shirley needs $3,950 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the April deadline.
🇺🇸 Durham, North Carolina, United States3,834 views
Shirley is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for April, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,950. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Shirley has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Durham Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Shirley 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 $3,950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,850
• Filing and biometrics fees: $760
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $80
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
