Needed to know if I am eligible to file for mutual divorce as an Indian expat living in Dubai and holding an Indian passport and also have Canadian PR. My husband is a Canadian citizen working in Saudi on a work visa. What are my rights? Can I ask for alimony? Can I file for divorce from Dubai? I have no children from the marriage.

I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

Hello, I submitted an offer and deposit through the trustee office, but the owner rejected it. What is the next step? They sent an email notification stating that if not renewed within the contract's end time, 500 AED will be deducted for each additional day of stay.

Hello, My ex-wife has already obtained a travel ban for my 7-year-old son, who has been living with me for more than two years without any support from her.

Hi, I need some guidance regarding a property transaction that is not progressing as expected. My broker initiated a manual Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between me (the Buyer) and the Seller, with an expiry date of 01/02/2025. Within this period, I successfully arranged the bank mortgage, property evaluation, and NOC. However, the broker started giving excuses, such as the seller being hospitalized. Later, the broker attempted to arrange a Power of Attorney (POA). However, after that, they started ignoring my messages and calls. It now seems like they no longer intend to proceed with me, and the MOU has already expired. Meanwhile, my bank EMI has already started, and I have paid two monthly installments. The broker is still unresponsive. I have raised multiple complaints through DLD RVS against the broker, but the response has been very slow and unsatisfactory. I’m feeling stuck and financially burdened. Please advise

Hey, I'm building my house in Dubai, and it was going well. I gave the contractor 420k as a first payment, and we both agreed that the rest would be in installments. Just two months ago, the contractor went off the grid, and I can't find him. All I have is a security cheque that bounced back when I went to the bank, as the signature doesn't match what's in the file. However, I learnt that he does have money, but not the amount that's in the cheque. What should I do now to get my money back? I need advice.

سيدي العزيز، لقد اعتبرت الشركة التي أعمل بها منصبي زائدًا عن حاجة العمل بسبب تداعيات فيروس كورونا. إنني أعمل بموجب عقد عمل محدد المدة. لقد أعطوني فترة إشعار مدتها شهر واحد بالإضافة إلى مستحقات نهاية الخدمة. هل يُعد هذا الأمر صحيحًا أم يجب منحي فترة إشعار مدتها ثلاثة أشهر؟ يرجى التوضيح.

أرغب في إنهاء عقد إيجار إحدى دور الحضانة المملوكة لي في أبراج بحيرات جميرا في وقتٍ مبكر (وحدة البيع بالتجزئة) حيث توقف العمل تمامًا منذ شهر مارس. لا يمكنني التواصل مع المالك الذي يحمل الجنسية الصينية؛ إنه لا يرد على رسائل البريد الإلكتروني أو المكالمات وقد لا يكون داخل إمارة دبي. سيكون الشيك النهائي مستحق السداد في 1 مايو 2020، ماذا أفعل؟

لقد كنت أعيش في إمارة دبي منذ عامين. غادرت البلاد قبل انتهاء عقد العمل الخاص بي مع أحد الفنادق. استقلت بعد مرور أربعة أشهر وطلبوا مني دفع غرامة قدرها 5000 درهم. بدلاً من دفع الغرامة، غادرت البلاد في الحال وعدت إلى وطني. هل تم فرض حظرًا علي؟ هل سأتمكن من العمل في إمارة دبي في المستقبل؟

لقد استقلت من وظيفتي الحالية وآخر يوم عمل لي هو 9 مايو بعد قضاء فترة إشعار مدتها شهرين. لقد عملت في هذه الوظيفة لمدة أربع سنوات. لقد دفع لي صاحب العمل بدل سكن لمدة عام كامل ويريد خصم الأشهر المتبقية من مكافأة نهاية الخدمة الخاصة بي. هل يُعد هذا الأمر جائزًا؟ لم يتم إخباري أنه سيتم خصم هذا المبلغ في حالة استقالتي. أيضًا، يحق لي الحصول على إجازة سنوية لمدة 30 يومًا. منذ استقالتي، قاموا بتطبيق نظامًا تناسبيًا هذا العام لحساب مستحقات نهاية الخدمة. هل يُعد هذا جائزًا؟ ألا يجب أن يتم تعويضي عن الثلاثين يومًا إجازة التي لم أحصل عليها؟ شكرًا لك.

أعطت الشركة التي أعمل بها جميع الموظفين إجازة غير مدفوعة الأجر بسبب فيروس كورونا. هل يحق لهم فعل ذلك من الناحية القانونية دون حتى دفع راتبنا الأساسي أو نفقاتنا؟
