No response deadline from judge for husband on maintenance request. What now?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I had submitted an urgent request through the Al Adheed Centre to seek alimony/maintenance from my husband for the expenses of myself and my son.

Our court case has been ongoing for a while, and we are not currently living together. As of now, my husband has not been providing any maintenance.

Today, the judgment was delivered, and the judge stated, "The person against whom the claim is made shall be notified for comment" (يخطر المعروض ضده للتعقيب). What does this mean?

Additionally, the judge did not specify a date for my husband to submit a response or make payments.

Please advise!

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding the recent judgment in your alimony/maintenance case.

I understand the importance of clarity in legal matters, and I'm here to provide you with the information you need.

The statement "The person against whom the claim is made shall be notified for comment" ("يخطر المعروض ضده للتعقيب") means that the court has acknowledged the claim made against your husband and has decided to inform him about it.

This notification serves as an opportunity for your husband to respond to the claim, presenting his comments or arguments related to the alimony/maintenance request.

In this phase, the court is essentially giving your husband a chance to present his side of the case. Once he receives the notification, he is expected to submit a response addressing the claims made against him.

The absence of a specified date for response or payment in the judgment is not uncommon at this stage. The court may follow up with specific timelines in subsequent notifications.

For more precise details and to navigate the next steps effectively, I recommend scheduling a consultation with me.

We can discuss the specifics of your case, potential timelines, and formulate a strategy to ensure your rights are protected.

Feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone to arrange a convenient time for our consultation. I'm here to provide the guidance and support you need during this process.

Best Regards,

Suhail Rana

Dear Questioner,

According to what is written in Arabic, the court will notify your husband to respond to your claim or request.

Here, the judge mentioned that the court will notify the opposite party to submit his memo regarding his side of the story.

This is a normal procedure in the court. You may follow up with the court procedure.
