Does the husband have to pay alimony to his wife after divorce?
I know that the obligation to pay alimony after divorce is the person who does not raise the child to pay alimony to the child. However, does the law stipulate that husbands are obliged to pay alimony to their wives after divorce in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Article 115 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 stipulates as follows:
Maintenance obligation between husband and wife after divorce
When divorced, if the party facing financial difficulties requests maintenance for plausible reasons, the other party has the obligation to provide maintenance according to his/her ability.
Thus, it can be seen that in addition to the usual child alimony, the spouses must also be obliged to pay alimony to each other after divorce when it is found that the other party facing financial difficulties requests maintenance for plausible reasons, the other party is obliged to pay alimony according to its ability. However, the law does not specify how financial difficulties, so if you want to receive alimony, you have to depend on the judgment of the court in Vietnam.
Best Regards!
