I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for May, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $400 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $290
• Filing and biometrics fees: $50
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Milon?
Thank you. If you're in Aurangabad I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
take care. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Aurangabad
Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Aurangabad
Any update on how things are going in Aurangabad?
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Aurangabad!
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Milon.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($290) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
So sorry you're going through this, Milon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Quezon City
gave what I could, wish it was more. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
hope things get better soon, Milon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
