Natifnatal Says...

As the result of the divorce, the father is fully responsible for the payment of child support, unless he is unable to fulfil that obligation, in which case the court can determine the mother to share the child support.

In non-Moslem divorces, courts may require the ex-husband to pay alimony to his ex-wife.

In an Islamic divorce, the ex-wife is entitled to three months' alimony (as long as the divorce was not based on her fault) and also to a gift (known as Mut'ah in Islamic Law), which can be in the form of money or property.

In addition to financial orders on divorce, courts can also make financial orders during the court proceedings (before the divorce occurs).

Based on the parties' petition, during the proceedings, the court may determine:

the means of support that should be borne by the husband;
the necessary things to ensure the children's support and education; and
the necessary things to ensure that the parties' assets are well maintained.

A joint property arrangement is also expected to be regulated by prevailing law after the divorce occurs.
