How much money would a single mother with 3 children get from her Ex-husband (after divorce)in $?

Answer

A divorcee is entitled to maintenance only during the Iddat period if she is not a Naashiza.

A Naashiza is she who is guilty of disobedience to her husband and violating the laws of Nikah. If a divorcee is a Naashiza, she is not entitled to any maintenance even during her Iddat period. The father is always responsible to maintain his children and fulfil their needs.
