Legal advice
a question
A question came from a reader in which she said:
My ex-husband filed a lawsuit to drop my custody of my son, and the court accepted the lawsuit on the basis that he had reached 17 years of age, and the custody had already been dropped, but the boy still lives with me, and I am the one who supports him, and I take care of all his expenses, while his father is not interested in him, and my question is, do I have the right? In such a case, I request alimony from my ex-husband after dropping custody
Answer
Legal Advisor Dr. Youssef Al-Sharif answers:
Alimony begins to fall when the mother loses custody, as the children move to live with their father when they reach the legal age, and he is thus directly responsible for spending on them, but in the case of the questioner, the custody is lost to her, but the son still lives with her, and she is the one who spends on him. Therefore, the mother must prove the case, and then request that the father be obligated to bear all expenses, considering that the son, at this age, decided of his own free will to live with his mother.
