Madrid
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,150. 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 Madrid 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 $3,150 goes: • Attorney retainer: $2,300 • Filing and biometrics fees: $560 • Certified translations and document copies: $130 • Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $160 I hope life is good to you.

    Sending good thoughts, Paloma. Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Austin so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Madrid

      Thanks for sharing this. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Thủ Đức so I could bring a meal. All the best.

        Shared it with a few friends. After 17 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          wishing you peace, Paloma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
