السلام عليكم، هل يحق لي كمُدَّعى عليه في دعوى خلع وإثبات حضانة أن أتقدم بطلب إغفال لمحكمة الموضوع؟ حيث أن المدعية طلبت الحضانة فقط في مذكرتها الشارحة ولم تطلبها في مذكرتها التعقيبية والختامية وأنا في دعوتها كنت أنازعها على الحضانة وأطلبهم. القاضي أثبت وقوع طلاق بائن ولكن لم يذكر أي شيء بخصوص الحضانة واكتفى بأن المدعية لم تطلبها في المذكرة الختامية. فماذا عن طلبي أنا كمُدَّعَى عليه؟ هل يحق لي عمل طلب إغفال أم أطالب بالحضانة في الاستئناف أم دعوى جديدة؟

مرحبًا، أنا عاطل عن العمل منذ شهر سبتمبر 2019 بسبب إعادة هيكلة الشركة، على الرغم من أنني كنت أعمل لديهم منذ أكثر من 13 عامًا. حتى الآن، لا يزال لديّ ديّن بقيمة 170 ألف درهم (150 ألف درهم ديّن أساسي) مستحقة للبنك "أم" و19 ألف درهم (8 آلاف درهم ديّن أساسي) مستحقة للبنك "أف". لقد تواصلت بالفعل مع البنك "أم" وأخبرتهم أنني على استعداد لتسوية القرض، ولكن إذا وافقوا على تخفيض المبلغ إلى 70 ألف درهم حيث أني لا أملك سوى 40 ألف درهم فقط، بينما لم أتواصل مع البنك "أف" حتى الآن. هل هناك أي طريقة يمكننا من خلالها تخفيض المبلغ؟ ما زلت لا أملك أي عمل حتى الآن وأقيم تحت كفالة زوجتي. شكرًا لك ومع خالص تحياتي.

اشترى أخي شقة من الباطن من المالك لأن أقساطها لم تُسدد بالكامل ودفع له ثمنها المُتَّفق عليه ثم ضاع العقد من أخي والشقة لم يسكن فيها حتى الآن. كيف يمكن إثبات الحق فيها؟ وكيف يمكن بيعها أو تأجيرها لشخص آخر؟

Hi, I am a non-Muslim indian expatriate, residing in Dubai since 2015. The first 5 years, I was on a working visa, and after the delivery of my first baby, I left my job and became dependent on my husband. In 2018, we bought a house together where I invested AED 2 hundred thousand from my income (I have proof in the form of a cheque). I also paid AED 3300 monthly installment for 1 year, for a personal loan taken out for the house. But in spite of my resistance, my husband tactfully put the house in his name, so the title deed was in his name. In 2024, when my kids and I were in India for vacation, he cancelled our visas and residency. He also filed for a divorce in India. The divorce is not yet finalised, and we are still married. Since August 2024, he hasn't let me access my house in Dubai, so I filed a case, which eventually went in my favor in January 2025. Since I used to travel on a visit visa, I left for India and returned in March, to find out that my husband had already sold the house. The new owner is residing there. What can I do now? Help!

Hi I'm a nanny, and at the same time, I work as a housemaid (khadama) here in the house. I work, but as I know, the nannies and housemaids have different rights, and my employer doesn't give me rest. My work starts at 7:30 am and then finishes at 10 pm or less. It depends on whether the baby is asleep or what time they will take on me if not yet asleep. Is this right? Also, at the time of eating, I'm still working because the baby is with me, so I just let her sit in her chair. That's how I eat. Please answer me. I want to know my rights. Because if I can leave during the 6-month probation, I want to take it if the employer is this kind. I don't know. They are also expats, but they don't follow the rules of the UAE regarding a housemaid.

I recently joined a new organization in the Hamriyah Free Zone, and my previous organization has not released my end-of-service benefits. The HR has instructed the finance team not to do so because I had contacted one of their clients. In my DMCC contract, there is no Non-Compete clause, but the offer letter has one, and now they are not releasing the end-of-service. Is this legal? What are my rights?

Hello, I have multiple cheque execution cases filed against me due to financial strains last year. My trade license and visa will expire next month, along with my Emirates ID. Is it possible for me to renew my license and visa along with EID prior to settling the execution cases? The trade license and visa were issued by the free zone authority. I look forward to your response. Thanks.

Hello, I came from Dubai to India on emergency leave, but unfortunately, I did not return. It has now been 12 years. Can I go to Dubai on a new visa? I have already received a new employment visa from another employer. Can I return to Dubai, or will there be any problems with UAE immigration? Please advise!
