Ahmed El Fishawy legal battles

El Fishawy is facing one year in a prison sentence for failing to provide the provisions of expenses and wages to his daughter, Lena.

Also, the actor faces many criticisms for his indifferent attitude towards his daughter and his ongoing judicial battles with his ex-wife.

In 2019, he was also sentenced to one month in prison for refraining from providing the expenses of his daughter.

The Khalifa family court ruled against El Fishawy after his ex-wife Hend el-Hennawy filed a lawsuit number 86 against him for refraining from paying alimony in favor of his daughter, estimated at LE 234,600.

The court issued a one month sentence against the actor, especially after presenting documents proving his ability to pay the alimony was presented by Said.

Hennawy’s lawyer revealed that the verdict against El Fishawy is enforceable and cannot be appealed, and in the event of his arrest he would be obliged to serve his sentence or pay alimony to his daughter.

Moreover, a court ruling was also issued in November 2019 to annul a decision banning Lina from traveling.

The family feud in the courts has started long before Lena was born, and did not stop until her early teens, which had certainly left an impact on Lena.
