Legal fees for Irmak's custody modification in Konya
A custody modification deadline is approaching and Irmak can't afford the lawyer.
Anywhere in the world2,128 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for November, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $950. 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 Konya 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 $950 goes:
• Attorney retainer: $800
• Filing and biometrics fees: $120
• Certified translations and document copies: $20
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $10
Thanks for being kind about this.

Wishing you peace, Irmak. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Konya!
Stay strong, Irmak. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Poznań.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Irmak?
hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Konya. I'll ask around and let you know!
Take care, Irmak. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Dar es Salaam this morning.
