Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Hadley's custody modification

Hadley needs $700 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the November deadline.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for November, 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 a local immigrant rights clinic 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 $700 goes: • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170 • Filing and biometrics fees: $280 • Certified translations and document copies: $250 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Hadley

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($47 in total) the plan for filing and biometrics fees is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
