I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,250. 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 Mandurah 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 $2,250 goes: • Attorney retainer: $1,500 • Filing and biometrics fees: $460 • Certified translations and document copies: $230 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60 Thanks for being kind about this. - Luca

Updates from Luca

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($515 in total) I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
