If the father is remiss in the financial rights of his children, he must fulfill them and care for them, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is enough sin for a person to neglect those whom he supports," and "Indeed, Allah will question every guardian about what He entrusted him with, whether he protected it or neglected it, even questioning a man about his household." In case of his refusal, recourse can be had to the court. If his negligence is in inquiring about their well-being while fulfilling his duties, then the mother should help him and encourage a good relationship between the children and their father.
