Justice shouldn't depend on a bank balance: Rémi's custody modification
Rémi needs $2,900 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the December deadline.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,900. 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.
The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed.
Where the $2,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $620
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $105
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care. Hope you get there. Love from Moscow
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
rooting for you. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Üsküdar donated after I showed her your page.
