Good to know
A father remains responsible for his children's maintenance even after divorce, regardless of which parent has custody.
The amount is set by the court based on needs and the paying party's means. Good documents make a real difference to the figure.
Common mistakes to avoid in a maintenance claim
Waiting too long
Instead: Past maintenance can be limited by time. The sooner you file, the more you protect.
No proof of expenses
Instead: Keep receipts for school fees, medical bills, rent and daily needs.
Accepting cash with no record
Instead: Informal payments are hard to prove. Ask for bank transfers or signed receipts.
Not enforcing the decree
Instead: If payments stop after the decree, file for execution promptly.
