We are a Muslim family of 5 living in Canada.
My mom has gone through a-lot with my dad during her past 25 years with him. She finally was able to find a place at cooperative home that would accommodate us and her.
My dad agreed on the basis that she agrees to sell the home that we used to live in. She agrees but asks for half of the net sale of the house goes to her. Considering that this is what she is legally entitled to.
They have been living separately for over a year now. My mom wants to make everything official between them in terms of separation.
My dad says he is willing to go and sign the documents to legally divorce her but he is not going to be giving her alimony support considering that the money she has got from the sale of the house is claimed to be like a support and alimony to her (~ $50K).
Is what my dad proposing justified from an Islamic point of view?
