Legal fees for Deepa's custody modification in Jaipur
Help Deepa cover the fees of a custody modification so She can stay with her family.
🇮🇳 Jaipur, Rajasthan, India768 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $650. 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 $650 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $440
• Filing and biometrics fees: $140
• Certified translations and document copies: $25
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
Thank you for reading my story.
