Frequently Asked Questions
- When is the mother entitled to custody fee?
- After the irrevocable-divorce ʿidda by default. Not entitled during the marriage or in revocable-talaq ʿidda, where she gets ʿidda maintenance instead.
- How is the amount determined?
- The judge considers the father's means, number of children in custody, mother's social status, and local custom. No fixed formula.
- Does the custody fee lapse with the mother's remarriage?
- Not by remarriage to a maḥram of the child. It lapses only if custody transfers to someone else due to her marriage to a non-maḥram.
