Man To Pay Kid Allowance To Ex-wife - Administrative Court

11 December 2015 Kuwait

The Administrative Court chaired by Judge Walid Al-Mathkour ordered the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs to pay child allowance to a Kuwaiti woman despite she was unable to provide evidence that the children’s father was employed or not. The court stressed that Kuwaiti women should not be denied of the right to child allowance irrespective of the circumstance. Plaintiff Attorney Freih Al-Kouh stated his client is a staff of the ministry who is blessed with five children from her ex-husband. The woman was awarded KD190 monthly allowance to cover the responsibility of the ex-husband and services of a domestic worker as the couple was granted divorce in court. The woman approached the court to involve the ministry in paying them child allowance since the children’s father refused to pay the fee ordered by court. The ministry had also stopped paying the allowance just after one month on the pretext that the woman did not present proof of employment or vice versa for the exhusband, in addition to clearance to make sure that he’s not receiving any aid from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor.
