Review unpaid dowry, qualifying maintenance, belongings and evidence separately. Housing during the waiting period and housing for a child in custody are distinct issues and cannot be generalized.
Children’s rights
Child maintenance, housing, custody and contact are independent rights assessed according to the child’s welfare and applicable law.
