Legal fees for Rocío's custody modification in San Francisco
Help Rocío cover the fees of a custody modification so She can stay with her family.
🇺🇸 United States2,810 views
Rocío is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $3,900. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Rocío has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at a local immigrant rights clinic has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Rocío 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 $3,900 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $3,100
• Filing and biometrics fees: $620
• Certified translations and document copies: $80
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
