Know Legal Process For Maintenance of Child in Pakistan by Father

[bisma Imran]

Maintenance of Child in Pakistan by Father: 

Advocate Nazia in Lahore is an expert lawyer for the maintenance of child in Pakistan by father. The maintenance of child in Pakistan is primarily the duty of the father. The father is responsible for the maintenance and residence of the child under what is customarily good. The father is also responsible for the breastfeeding expenses of the child where the mother is not breastfeeding the child. The maintenance of child in Pakistan is obligatory till the age of the majority of the child and even after that where the child is economically or physically handicapped or chronically sick. In the case of a female child, maintenance of child in Pakistan is obligatory even after the age of majority (puberty).

Enjoys Financial Ease:

The father is unable to maintain his child and the mother has the means to do so. She is to spend on the child but is given the right to recover from the father when he enjoys financial ease. If the husband is prevented from earning due to a handicap, she cannot recover from him. The mother of the child cannot be compelled to breastfeed the infant. Where the mother of the child refuses to breastfeed the child, the drill is to make alternative arrangements for breastfeeding until the age of weaning of the child.

Child to Prevent Injury:

Nevertheless, the fatwa is that she should feed the child to prevent injury to it. The mother breastfeeds the child while she is still married to the child's father. She is not entitled to additional expenses for breastfeeding besides her normal expenses of maintenance, clothing, and residence. If the mother, who has been divorced, continues to breastfeed the child in her custody, she will be paid expenses for such breastfeeding. This does not apply to the case of the revocable (Raji) divorce. In all these cases, the husband retains the right to hire another woman for wet nursing even after the waiting period.

Maintenance of Relatives Within the Prohibited Degree:

Maintenance of relatives within the prohibited degree of marriage is obligatory. It is obligatory upon a person to maintain and support his relatives, who fall within the prohibited degree for marriage when they are in need. Our Lawyer in Lahore will solve your all kind of lawsuit.  This duty grants an enforceable right to the relatives, and they can approach the court for their maintenance, residence, and clothing expenses. The duty relates to the provision of expenses, residence, and clothing as needed. The duty for expenses and clothing remains even if such relatives own a house and employ a servant; they are not compelled to sell their house. Past claims not recovered do not become a debt in this case.

The following Relatives Can Acquire this Right: -

(a)     Parents and grandparents. -The children are duty-bound to support their parents. If there is one child, the entire burden falls upon that child. If there is more than one, the burden is distributed among the sons, and if one cannot pay, the others will pay on their behalf and will have recourse to him when he enjoys a financial case. Where there are no sons or the sons cannot support the parents, the duty falls upon the daughter or daughters as the case may be.

Paternal Grandparents and Maternal Grandparents:

The same rules apply to paternal grandparents and maternal grandparents when they do not have male children or their children to support them. (b) Brothers and sisters; nephews and nieces-It is the duty of a person to support their brothers and sisters if they are in need. The duty moves on to the nephews and nieces if there is no one else to support them. (c) Uncles and aunts, whether maternal or paternal, a person must support their uncles and aunts, whether maternal or paternal, when they are in need and do not have their children or their children cannot support them due to financial hardship. The general rule is that the duty first falls upon a person closer for purposes of inheritance. If they cannot pay due to financial hardship, the duty devolves upon those next in line, but they can recover from those prior if and when they regain financial ease. There is no duty to provide maintenance for relatives who are not within the prohibited degree of marriage.
