Is it better to file a case against husband for alimony before giving birth?

Dear sir/madam,

Am I allowed to start opening a case against my husband for alimony and support if I have not given birth yet?

Or do I have to wait until I give birth and then open a case against him?

Dear questioner,

In the event of a request for divorce, custody, and alimony, the case can be registered in the court in which the husband or wife resides.

Divorce entails damages due to the wife and children; if there are children.

Temporary alimony can be requested while the case is in progress.

Dear questioner,

Do not wait!

You can file the case now and amend your requests later, or file another case after the birth to claim the expenses of the birth and the young child.

You can contact us via phone for more inquiries.
