Process of khula in Pakistan and Financial Support:
Advocate Nazia from Lahore Pakistan says that the possibility of imprisonment for contempt constitutes a strong inducement to the other party to make the proper payments under the decree and process of khula in Pakistan. Imprisonment is unusual in such cases. The threat alone often convinces the offending party that he or she should meet the specified conditions. A spouse may sue under a separation agreement or go through the process of khula in Pakistan. If that spouse secures a judgment, the judgment may be collected by the normal means. These include attachment of the property of the other spouse, garnishment of rents or other funds owed the other spouse by third parties, and other methods established by state law. Decrees for the support of a spouse or children can also be enforced from one state to another under laws known as reciprocal support laws of the process of khula in Pakistan. These laws provide a means of following the spouse who owes support but skips town to avoid payments.
Types of the Process of Khula in Pakistan:
Action of the process of khula in Pakistan normally begins, as noted, with a complaint by one party against the other. The time required for completion of the action will depend on many factors. These include the degree to which husband and wife have agreed on financial and other problems and the backlog of cases in family court. Typically, from two months to a year or more can elapse before the divorce decree becomes final. In some states, an interlocutory decree may precede a final decree. The interlocutory decree will not become final for a period of time-30, 60, or 90 days or more. The parties are not divorced until the final decree is entered. Many couples and some states have sought ways in which to speed the process of khula in Pakistan. Two such methods are the so-called “quickie” divorce and no-fault divorce.
The latter had been legalized in most states by the early 1980s. Quickie” Divorce Decrees So-called “quickie” divorce decrees can be obtained in countries or states that have little or no residence requirements. Are these “quickie” divorce decrees recognized everywhere? Under the federal Constitution, the “Full Faith and Credit” clause requires that the courts of one state give full faith and credit to the Judgments and decrees of the courts of another state. However, in an exception to this general rule, the court entering the original decrees must have had jurisdiction over the parties to that action. If the court did not have such jurisdiction, the second court does not have to give the decree full faith and credit. The requirement of residence has been mentioned in connection with the process of khula in Pakistan. The courts in several states have held that residence requires more than merely being present in the state for the period required to get a divorce. Rather, residence means physical presence plus an intent to remain within the state permanently. For example, divorce decrees have been attacked in some cases because the spouse did not indicate intent to remain in the state. He or she may nonetheless have been in the state long enough to meet the residence requirement for a divorce. In effect, some states take a stricter view of residence requirements than do others
