Is it permissible for a daughter to file a lawsuit against her father demanding the child support he failed to pay to the children or the mother throughout the divorce, knowing that he does not acknowledge them?
A father is legally obligated to provide for his children. He is sinful if he neglects to provide for them while he is wealthy and they are poor. If the father does not fulfill his duty, the children are permitted to take him to court to compel him to provide support, after advising him and presenting the matter to those who can influence him.
