Am I entitled to deduct the value of the jewelry that was sold to support myself and my daughter from the list of movables, especially since these expenses are considered a debt owed by my ex-husband? If so, am I entitled to claim its value at the time of purchase, or sale, or to claim it after the divorce?
The obligatory maintenance upon the husband is a sufficient amount, as is customary. If the husband abandons the maintenance obligatory upon him, it becomes a debt upon him. The wife has the right to demand from the husband the amount of maintenance due, and what she spent on her daughter with the intention of being reimbursed. However, she does not have the right to demand the value of gold or what exceeds the customary maintenance, bearing in mind that maintenance is not obligatory for a disobedient wife (nashiz) or one who is irrevocably divorced, unless she is pregnant.
