Example 1 Husband's profession is taxi driver. He makes 30.000 KES per month. The wife took care of the children and has no job. They have two children of which one goes to school. - Rent: 5.000-10.000 KES per month - Public school fee: 1.000 KES per month - Food: 5000 KES per month Total per month: 11.000-16.000 KES Following the new Constitution for Kenya, maintenance money needs to be paid for both children born in and outside of marriage.
