We thank the esteemed questioner for their diligence and ask Allah to ease the affairs of the Muslims. Regarding your question, a divorced woman has the right to claim child support for her child from the father. The method of payment is determined based on the judge's discretion, taking into consideration the child's best interest and the father's financial situation. As for the divorced custodian's fee, she is not entitled to a wage for her custody.
