🇳🇱 Netherlands1,139 views
Piet is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,050. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Piet has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at the Rotterdam Community Legal Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Piet could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,250
• Filing and biometrics fees: $500
• Certified translations and document copies: $210
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
I hope life is good to you.
