At Al Wasl Law Firm, we do not perceive alimony as a mere number debated in court sessions, nor as a superficial calculation that ends at a standard table. We view it as a scale of justice within the family, and one of the most essential tools to restore dignity and redress what was lost during the conflict

Alimony – Structuring Financial Obligations to Preserve Post-Separation Balance

Alimony is one of the most stable and well-defined components of personal status law, due to its direct connection to ensuring the livelihood of the entitled party — whether a spouse, children, or eligible relatives. Although the general principle is clear — obligating the responsible party to cover the basic needs of those legally dependent on them — the practical implementation of this rule requires a precise evaluation of various legal and factual factors that differ from case to case.

At Al Wasl Legal Group, we manage alimony cases as financial-legal matters that require a delicate balance between protecting the rights of the entitled party and considering the capabilities of the obligated party. This balance is not built on assumption or random estimations, but rather on an impartial reading of the financial and social reality of both sides — while adhering to the consistent standards set by the Court of Cassation regarding fair alimony assessments.

Our Alimony File Management Begins with Three Key Understandings:

1.	What type of alimony is required? Alimony varies based on the phase:     • Spousal alimony during marriage     • Waiting period (ʿiddah) alimony post-divorce     • Compensation alimony in cases of abusive or unjust divorce     • Child alimony, which includes food, clothing, education, healthcare, and sometimes housing if no alternative is available
2.	Are the entitlement conditions met? Alimony cannot be granted without confirming a valid marital or parental bond, verifying whether it remains ongoing or has ended, and assessing whether the obligated party is able or has refused to provide.
3.	How can the amount of alimony be proved or contested? Alimony is not theoretical — it is based on the actual income of the obligated party. Therefore, we rely on documents, testimonies, and official investigations — such as salary slips, bank accounts, lifestyle indicators, and material evidence — to build a realistic picture of financial capacity.

Following this initial stage, we proceed with legal action by filing the claim with the competent Family Court, while requesting a temporary alimony ruling pending the final decision, if necessary. We submit detailed legal briefs supported by the most recent jurisprudence of the Court of Cassation and represent our client throughout all stages until judgment is rendered.

Our service does not end with the initial ruling. If necessary, we file claims for alimony increases or reductions in response to changing financial circumstances. We also pursue execution procedures, including seizure of salaries, bank accounts, or movable assets in cases of non-compliance.

When our client is the party obligated to pay alimony, our role is to ensure fair assessment, prevent exaggeration, and clarify all financial commitments, including those owed to other legally recognized parties.

We manage these cases with strict legal discipline — guided by objective analysis, not emotional influence — to secure justice without opening unnecessary disputes or causing long-term harm between the parties.
