I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for August, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,300. 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 Heraklion Welcome 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 $1,300 goes: • Attorney retainer: $850 • Filing and biometrics fees: $330 • Certified translations and document copies: $120 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
