Article 9 — Article (9) Divorcee's Alimony

Chapter Three: Divorce and its Procedures

The divorced woman may submit a request to the court, after the judgment granting divorce is rendered, seeking a judgment of alimony from her ex-husband, and any claims subsequent to divorce before the court shall be added in accordance with the form prepared for this purpose. In the event that there is no agreement on the conditions or controls of such alimony or the other financial claims in the marriage contract, the granting of the application and its duration shall be subject to the discretion of the judge after evaluating the following factors: 1. The number of years of marriage, so that the larger number of years of marriage shall give rise to larger amounts of alimony; 2. The age of the wife, so that the value of alimony decreases with the decrease in the age of the wife, and vice versa; 3. The financial situation of each of the married couple, in accordance with a report prepared by an accounting expert who is delegated by the court to assess the economic position of each of the married couple; 4. The extent of the husband's contribution to the divorce through negligence or error, or his commission of any act leading to the divorce; 5. Compensation of either of the married couple to the other for any physical or moral harm caused thereto as a result of the divorce; 6. Financial damage incurred by either of the married couple as a result of the application to grant divorce by unilateral will; 7. The father shall be liable for the expenses and costs of the mother's custody of the children during joint custody, for a temporary period not exceeding two years in accordance with the findings of the accounting expert's report; 8. Whether or not the wife is interested in taking care of the children; 9. In all cases, the wife's alimony shall lapse in the event that she gets married to another man, and in the event that her custody of the children ends for any reason, and that a new application may be submitted to amend the alimony after each year or in accordance with the changing circumstances.
