The answer

A woman who has been granted a final, irrevocable divorce and has custody of her children is entitled to child support, suitable housing for them, and wages for their care. All of this is determined by the father's financial situation. If the husband is affluent and employed servants before the separation, and his financial circumstances have not changed, then he must bear the costs of a maid for his children, especially if his ex-wife was accustomed to having a maid. The mother must choose a trustworthy and religious maid due to her influence on the children's morals.
