Legal fees for Sakshi's custody modification in Dwarka
Sakshi needs $400 for filing fees and representation in a custody modification before the July deadline.
🇮🇳 India1,351 views
I'm facing a custody modification. My hearing is scheduled for July, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $400. 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 Dwarka 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 $400 goes:
• Court-appointed interpreter and travel: $35
• Attorney retainer: $360
• Certified translations and document copies: $5
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sakshi.
Court-appointed interpreter and travel is $35 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
So sorry you're going through this, Sakshi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Ekurhuleni.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Take care. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.

Wishing you the best, Sakshi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 16 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
