I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,050. 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 the Aberdeen Community Legal 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $3,050 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,000
• Filing and biometrics fees: $710
• Certified translations and document copies: $230
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $110
Thanks for being kind about this.

your post was clear and honest. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Hang in there, Gaurav. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 21 people at work. Thinking of Aberdeen.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Praying for you, Gaurav. Gave what I could, wish it was more
stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Phuket but we're thinking of you. Take care.
