Custody modification: Arjun needs $300 before the deadline
Arjun needs $300 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the December deadline.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India706 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for December, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $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 the Mumbai 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $300 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $220
• Certified translations and document copies: $40
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $40
Thank you for reading my story.

How is Arjun doing now?
Best of luck, Arjun. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
you're not alone, Arjun. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
