Rights of the wife and daughter with the father in a divorce agreement
Hi,
I am Indonesian and my husband is French and we got married in Indonesia under Sharia Law.
We reside in Dubai with our 3-year old daughter. As we decide to separate, I found out that my husband already has a girlfriend.
We agreed to divorce and we drafted an agreement by ourselves, but I feel the amount of child support and maintenance fee is not fair. Before I sign it, I want to ask, is there any specific calculation for child support and wife alimony in Sharia Law?
My husband also threatened to take my daughter away from me if I mention anything about his adultery.
What is the best and fairest way for me to have my right as a woman, wife, and mother and to also protect my daughter’s wellbeing from her irresponsible father?

Hi.
About maintenance fee, we can only advice after knowing his salary and other details.
As you're saying that you both have mutually drafted an agreement, we need to see what it is in it and you seek from this separation.
