In the case of a divorce, what are a man’s child support responsibilities to his kids?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by DarulUloomTT.net

Question:

As Salaamu Alaikum,
In the case of a divorce, what are a man’s child support responsibilities to his kids?

Answer:

Bismillahi wa billahi at Tawfeek

Wa Alaikum As Salam

At all times, the father of the child is responsible for maintaining the child. In the case of a female, until she marries. And in the case of a healthy male, until he reaches puberty. In the case of a disabled child, male or female, the father is permanently responsible.

If the child is at a suckling age and the mother is unwilling or unable to suckle the child, the father should find someone to suckle the child even if he has to pay a wage to the wet nurse.
