Legal fees for Jorge's custody modification in Duque de Caxias
Jorge needs $250 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the June deadline.

I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for June, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $250. 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 Duque de Caxias 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.
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 $250 goes:
• Filing and biometrics fees: $140
• Certified translations and document copies: $50
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Keep going, Jorge. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Jorge. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Ibadan.

Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Üsküdar.
