When parents separate, does the child maintenance law in Pakistan effectively ensure financial support for the child? Is the responsibility of non-custodial parents clearly defined, or do custodial parents struggle to secure adequate funds for their child’s upbringing?

Under the Family Courts Act and Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, are fathers legally bound to provide maintenance, or do loopholes allow them to evade their duty? How do courts determine the amount—does it depend on the father’s income, or is there a fixed standard? And what legal steps can a custodial parent take if payments are delayed or denied?

For a detailed legal overview, https://lex.com.pk/family-law/child-maintenance-law-in-pakistan/ explains the rights, responsibilities, and legal processes involved. Does this help parents navigate the system and secure financial stability for their children?
