Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar said the new formula would resolve long-standing debates over alimony rates and expedite the provision of alimony to children, ensuring they receive it without delay. — Bernama picSHAH ALAM, Sept 6 — The government is set to develop a specific formula to be used by Syariah Court s in determining alimony rates for children of divorced parents.
“In some other countries, a specialised formula is applied to set child alimony rates, serving as a guide for divorce cases. Mohd Na’im said the practice differs in Malaysia, where courts must hear testimony from the father and mother, which can take months and is sometimes misused by fathers to prolong the case.
When asked if the current 30-day maximum prison term for fathers who fail to fulfil alimony payments as ordered by the Syariah Court should be extended, Mohd Na’im said that the existing legal provisions are sufficient for now.
