Currently in the midst of a dispute with a narcissistic live-in Partner. Experienced emotional and psychological abuse for almost 3 years. I plan to leave him, but I worry he will not give child support if my child leaves.

Hello,
Yes, you can demand child support from your live-in partner — especially if the child carries his last name and paternity is acknowledged or can be legally established. Under family law in Pakistan, every biological father is obligated to financially support his child, regardless of the nature of the relationship with the mother.
You may file a child maintenance petition in the family court. The court will consider the father’s income and the child’s needs to decide the appropriate monthly support amount.
At MAH&CO., we specialize in family and child support cases. We can help you file your case professionally and ensure your child's rights are protected. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
