Legal fees for Angela's custody modification in Mississauga
Help Angela cover the fees of a custody modification so She can stay with her family.
🇨🇦 Mississauga, Ontario, Canada1,186 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,750. 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 Mississauga 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.
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 $1,750 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $170
• Certified translations and document copies: $100
• Attorney retainer: $1,480
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength, Angela. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Hope things get better soon, Angela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Tokyo.
