Filing a case against the husband for denying maintenance
I was told in Sharia Court that I can file a case if my husband does not provide financial support for my kids' food, groceries, clothes and allowance for me.
His reason is that I have my own work then I have to share the expenses. He does not live with us and has another wife in Dubai.
What is the process and are there any legal complications against me if I choose to file a case against him?
I do not want this issue to become messy and involve my children.
We can explain to you all the rights that can protect you and your kids by law.
Your husband is fully committed to paying all those expenses in addition to providing you with an allowance for living or apartment.
He is obligated to provide the maintenance and expenses related to the kids as per the law.
You being employed cannot absolve him from providing your rightful dues.
