Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Brandon's custody modification
Brandon needs $2,700 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the March deadline.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. 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 Birmingham 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 $2,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $370
• Certified translations and document copies: $135
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
Thank you so much.

Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Birmingham.
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor in Madrid donated after I showed her your page
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brandon
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Happy to explain more.
Hope things get better soon, Brandon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Birmingham
Wishing you the best, Brandon. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
thanks for sharing this, Brandon. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Rockford but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Brandon. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Lagos.
