Legal fees for Sebastián's custody modification in Coyoacán
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Sebastián can't afford the lawyer.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,166 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,200. 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 Coyoacán 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 $1,200 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $940
• Filing and biometrics fees: $170
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $45
If you're reading this, thank you.
