No, not as a rule ! If a husband appeals at the district court against a family court judgment or temporary decision awarding his wife maintenance this will not, in itself, prevent her taking action to enforce it at the bailiff’s court if he does not pay up meanwhile. This is because as long as there is no judicial decision delaying implementation of the judgment /decision awarding the wife maintenance, then it is still enforceable, and the mere filing of an appeal against it by the husband, will not prevent the wife opening a file at the bailiff’s to get the maintenance she has been awarded.
