🇧🇷 Maringá, Paraná, Brazil1,461 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for September, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $1,350. 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 Maringá 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 $1,350 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $1,050
• Filing and biometrics fees: $260
• Certified translations and document copies: $30
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Addis Ababa donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Vanessa. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Worcester so I could bring a meal. God bless.
