Legal fees for Anna's custody modification in Milan
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Anna can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world1,847 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,150. 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 $2,150 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Attorney retainer: $1,650
• Filing and biometrics fees: $420
Thanks for reading all this.
