The Child's Best Interest Standard in Determining Custody
The court determines custody based on one fundamental standard: the child's best interest, not either parent's wish independent of this standard. We help parties understand the factors actually affecting this assessment, such as the child's environment stability and capacity to provide suitable care.
Priority Order for Custodians Under Sharia Rulings
Islamic jurisprudence defines a specific priority order for custodians, usually starting with the mother then moving to other relatives in a defined order if the mother's custody isn't possible for some reason. We help parties understand this order and how it applies to their specific circumstances.
Non-Custodial Parent's Visitation and Communication Rights
We represent the non-custodial parent in securing their right to regularly visit and communicate with their children, a fundamental right that doesn't lapse merely because they didn't obtain custody, and help draft a practical visitation arrangement considering the child's interest and stability.
Custody Revocation and Its Statutory Grounds
Specific statutory grounds exist that could lead to revoking a parent's custody, such as establishing serious negligence or circumstances harming the child's interest. We help parties understand these grounds and realistically assess their position, whether seeking custody revocation or defending against this pursuit.
Determining a Fair Alimony Amount
We help fairly assess due alimony accounting for the husband's actual income and the wife's and children's real needs, not arbitrary estimated amounts that could be excessive or insufficient.
Collecting Overdue Alimony
When the husband delays paying due alimony, we help the wife claim full arrears through appropriate judicial procedures, including mandatory enforcement requests if refusal to pay continues.
Adjusting the Alimony Amount When Circumstances Change
When either party's financial circumstances change fundamentally, such as the husband losing his job or children's needs increasing as they grow older, we help submit an alimony adjustment request reflecting this actual change.
The Custodian Relocating to Another City
When the custodian wishes to relocate to another city with the children, potential tension arises with the other parent's regular visitation right. We help parties reach an arrangement balancing the custodian's freedom to choose their residence with the other party's right to communicate with their children.
Protecting Children From Being Affected by Custody and Alimony Disputes
We always advise keeping children entirely isolated from the details of any dispute over their custody or alimony, since these disputes should stay between the adult parents without burdening the child with unnecessary additional psychological weight.
