Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Karim's custody modification
Karim needs $1,450 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the September deadline.
🇪🇸 Alicante, Valencian Community, Spain2,565 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,450. 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 $1,450 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $860
• Filing and biometrics fees: $390
• Certified translations and document copies: $70
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $130
Glad we found this place.
