Our child has a disability (OKU). How do we arrange his care and maintenance after divorce?

Plan the care of a child with a disability in more detail, because his needs are usually greater and last longer. List the real costs, such as therapy, medicine, assistive devices, special transport and a trained carer. A father's duty of maintenance (nafkah) towards a child who cannot be independent may continue even after the child is an adult, depending on his condition. Decide who attends doctor's appointments and therapy sessions, and share medical reports with the other parent. Consistent routine is very important for a child with a disability, so avoid frequent schedule changes. Register your child with JKM for an OKU card and any assistance he may qualify for.
