Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My wife and I are going through divorce and would like to understand something in relation to child maintenance, as we have 2 young children.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From my understanding, the husband is to provide for the basic needs of the children. This also includes a portion towards home utilities (gas, water & electricity). However, I want to understand what portion towards these utilities is appropriate, given that my wife will be remaining in the house and taking ownership of it?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your understanding is correct in that the husband is responsible for providing for the basic needs of his dependent children.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The needs are limited to necessities such as clothing, food, medication and lodging. Given the fact that your ex-wife will be taking possession of the house and have ownership over it, you are not obliged to pay for her mortgage and other associated costs post-‘iddah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You will, however, be required to pay a certain amount towards the necessary expenses associated with your children such as utilities bills (a certain percentage), groceries, clothing, as well as lodging. You are to work out a fair amount (dictated by past experience) that will be given to your ex-wife monthly towards this maintenance. Lastly, have all this legally documented and agreed upon to avoid future disputes or misunderstandings.<\/span><\/p>\n
