I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for January, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,800. 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 the Mandurah Community Legal 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 $3,800 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,950 • Filing and biometrics fees: $500 • Certified translations and document copies: $105 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $245 Thank you so much. - Easton
