Legal fees for Lorenzo's custody modification in Barcelona
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Lorenzo can't afford the lawyer.
🇪🇸 Spain1,672 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,700. 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 Barcelona 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $2,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $380
• Certified translations and document copies: $180
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $90
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Barcelona.
Wishing you the best, Lorenzo. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Barcelona.
