Kota Kinabalu: Counsel, Nooradila Abdull Aziz, said that under non-Muslim divorce law, fathers must continue paying child support just as they did before the divorce.
“The court can order a father to sell his property if he refuses to pay child support,” the lawyer practising in Kuala Lumpur under the law firm Adila Aziz & Associates told a forum on women’s rights here, recently.
She was among the panel speakers invited for the forum jointly organised by the Sabah Women’s Action Resource Group (Sawo) and Telenisa.
“There was a case where a father who owed almost RM300, 000 in unpaid child support was ordered to sell his house within four months or go to jail,” she said.
