- Slide: 1
- It's been months, and my ex-husband, Faiz, hasn't sent any child support. What can I do?
- You have the right to maintenance under the Syariah Court. Let’s start by filing an enforcement application
- Slide: 2
- Madam Amira, we have reviewed your application. Mr. Faiz must provide maintenance as stipulated in Section 59 of the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984.
- If necessary, we will enforce this order, but enforcement can be complex if jurisdictions overlap.
- Thank you, Your Honour. But what if he doesn't comply?
- Slide: 3
- I’m struggling to keep up with my expenses. Can the court reduce the maintenance amount?
- We can file an application for a variation order, but remember, the children’s welfare is paramount
- Slide: 4
- This is a common issue. Civil and Syariah courts handle related matters differently, creating challenges for enforcement.
- I’ve already been paying some support under a civil court order. Isn’t this double enforcement?
- Slide: 5
- The court order is clear, but Faiz still isn’t paying. What can I do?
- Enforcement mechanisms like garnishment of salary are available, but they require coordination between courts.
