In case of failure of husband to maintain his wife, maintenance claim is filed in the Family Court, which determines the amount of maintenance payable from the date of default and consequently renders final judgment against the husband. If the Husband still fails to pay maintenance as determined, the court issue non-bailable warrants after which Husband is arrested.

Family laws of Pakistan impose strict legal obligations over the father to maintain his children. Father is required to maintain them till; in case of Boy till he attains 18 years of age, whereas in case of Girl till she finally gets married. In case of default in paying maintenance to children, a suit for maintenance is filed in the Family Court against the father. Family Court determines the amount of maintenance payable to children from the date of default and consequently renders final judgment against the father to maintain children per month. Additionally, the Family court also fixes the annual increase in maintenance. Law requires a 10% increment per annum in the maintenance fixed by the court payable to children.  If Father still fails to pay maintenance as determined by the court, his assets are attached by the court and are auctioned to recover the arrears. In absence of assets owned by the father, the court can also issue non-bailable warrants after which Father can be arrested. Father cannot, therefore, excuse from paying the maintenance to children on the plea that he is unemployed or he has limited income. However, if the father genuinely does not have any source of income and is unemployed, the obligation to maintain the children is shifted upon the grandfather to pay the maintenance of the children.
