Legal fees for Lorenzo's custody modification in Iztapalapa
Lorenzo needs $1,150 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the November deadline.

Lorenzo is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,150. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Lorenzo has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Iztapalapa Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Lorenzo could lose the right to stay with the family and the job. The children were born here and this is the only home they know.
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 $1,150 goes:
• Certified translations and document copies: $75
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
• Attorney retainer: $1,045
I hope life is good to you.
