I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $2,350. 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 $2,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,700
• Filing and biometrics fees: $440
• Certified translations and document copies: $115
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $95
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Mahmoud
Good news. Because of your gifts ($106 in total) the plan for certified translations and document copies is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $106 so far, I met with the attorney and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Riyadh: we've started the first stage. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending strength, Mahmoud. Looking forward to the next update. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Narayanganj.
so sorry you're going through this, Mahmoud. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Aurangabad so I could bring a meal
Stay strong, Mahmoud. Hope you get there
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
