Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Declan's custody modification
Help Declan cover the fees of a custody modification so He can stay with his family.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland848 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 Dublin 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.
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 $700 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $350
• Certified translations and document copies: $260
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
