Maintenance claims pursued with the record in your favour.
Maintenance & Support
Maintenance is a calendar-and-record matter as much as a courtroom matter.
Maintenance claims in Pakistan turn on intentional neglect, income evidence, and the strict need-and-capacity assessment of the family courts. Claims that are filed promptly, with the right evidence, and pursued through interim and final stages are the ones that recover. We manage that discipline end to end.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers to the questions clients ask when engaging counsel in Islamabad.
Who can claim maintenance in Pakistan?
Spouses (during the marriage window and under the family-law framework), children, and, in defined circumstances, family members owed support. The claim requires establishing need, the respondent's capacity, and, for wives, failure of maintenance as provided under the relevant personal law.
Can maintenance orders be enforced against a defaulting spouse?
Yes. Family court decrees for maintenance can be enforced through execution proceedings, and continued non-payment can attract coercive measures. The family courts also entertain interim and enforcement applications on a priority basis.
How is the amount of maintenance determined?
The court assesses the claimant's needs and the respondent's means, income, and capacity. The particulars of the parties' station, the child's education and care needs, and lifestyle inform the quantum. Evidence of income drives the assessment.
