Help Mussa with custody modification filing and attorney fees
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Mussa can't afford the lawyer.
🇰🇪 Kenya933 views
Mussa is facing a custody modification. The hearing is scheduled for March, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $600. Three legal-aid offices have said their waiting lists are longer than the deadline.
Mussa has all the paperwork ready, and a caseworker at Kasarani Welcome Centre has confirmed that the case is valid.
If the deadline is missed Mussa 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.
Funds cover only the filing fees, translations and attorney retainer.
Where the $600 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $400
• Filing and biometrics fees: $140
• Certified translations and document copies: $45
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $15

You're not alone, Auma. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mussa
It's all in the list in the story. attorney retainer is the big one at $400, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Gaziantep.
Good luck, Auma. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
how is Mussa doing now?
Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kasarani.
