The answer

The amount of maintenance (nafaqat al-iddah) during the waiting period is determined by custom and the husband's financial status, and there is no specific religious stipulation for it. What the questioner mentioned about the compensatory gift (mut'ah) is incorrect, and its details have been previously elaborated. As for the child's maintenance during custody, it is obligatory upon the man and includes the wages for breastfeeding and childcare. Its amount is determined by custom and the husband's financial status.
