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. What should I do to get the travel ban lifted permanently? Should I file a custody case, and will it help? How can I get full custody of my son, as his mother cannot properly take care of him?

طاب يومك، علي نزاعات إيجارية وحصلت على خطة تسوية منذ 8 أشهر. لكنني لم أدفع التسوية لأنه في لحظة التقدم بطلب للحصول على خطة التسوية، كان لدي عرض عمل وخسرته بسبب منع السفر ولم أتمكن من معالجة التأشيرة. علي قضية شخصية أخرى لدى الشرطة حيث قمت بالفعل بدفع مبلغ 18000 وكانت المطالبة 40000 درهم. والآن بعد أن لم التوقف عن الدفع، رفع المدعي القضية مرة أخرى. لدي الآن خطاب عرض آخر وأريد الحصول على شهادة مخالصة خلال 48 ساعة، وإلا فقد أفقد هذه الوظيفة أيضًا. برجاء تقديم النصيحة

اشتريت سيارة جديدة من تاجر سيارات [---] وبعد 5 دقائق من استخدام السيارة، ظهر تنبيه. وبعد أقل من 24 ساعة أبلغت البائعين بالمشكلة. بعد جدال معهم حول هذا الموضوع، قمت أخيرًا بإحضار السيارة إلى الصيانة في شركتهم وأكدوا أن الجزء يحتاج إلى تغيير كامل. أخبرتهم أنني لا أستطيع قبول سيارة معيبة والمطالبة باسترداد الأموال أو بمركبة أخرى. حتى الآن لم يكونوا على قدر من التعاون.

سيدي العزيز / سيدتي العزيزة، هناك قضية ضدي في محكمة تجارية ذات اختصاص كامل. آسف إذا كان هناك خطأ في هذا. لم أشارك في القضية، وبناءً على نصيحة محاميي في المملكة المتحدة، لم يتم تمثيلي هناك في دبي. عند التحقق من البوابة، تقول إنه تم التوصل إلى حكم بالأمس، لكن لا يمكنني رؤية المزيد من التفاصيل. لذلك أسئلتي هي: 1) هل تصدر الأحكام خلف أبواب مغلقة أم أمام المحامين؟ (المدعون لديهم محامون) 2) كم من الوقت يستغرق عادة حتى يصبح الحكم علنيًا ولكي أرى نتيجة القضية؟ الشيء الوحيد الذي يُقال على الإنترنت هو كلمة "تم الحكم".

مرحبًا، لقد تم ترحيلي من الإمارات بسبب عدم اللياقة الطبية، ولكن عندما وصلت إلى بلدي، أجريت عدة فحوصات طبية ولكن كل شيء على ما يرام؛ فيروس نقص المناعة البشرية سلبي، لا يوجد التهاب الكبد B، الخ. لا أعلم هل كان هناك خطأ أو سوء حظ بالنسبة لي. أتساءل عما إذا كان بإمكانهم السماح لي بالعودة إلى دبي.

Respected Advisors, I have been involved in a few criminal cases since 2017, but all of them were cleared by this year. I have obtained release letters for all the cases from the public prosecution office through an online portal. Recently, I also received my residence visa. After the visa process was completed, I applied for a PCC online. However, the request was rejected. I contacted the 901 office, and they advised me to visit the CID. I arranged for a power of attorney to be granted along with all the necessary documents to update the system. Twice I was told to come in person, but I am hesitant to do so because of my previous negative experience. Could someone please advise me whether I must go in person or if the person holding the power of attorney can handle the process? Thank you!

السلام عليكم، ماذا يعني اتخاذ قرار الحجز التنفيذي على الأموال والحسابات والتواصل مع البنك المركزي في قضية تنفيذ للمنفذ في أبو ظبي؟ مضى على الإعلان ٨ أيام ولم يصلني المبلغ المنفذ به بعد. ما الإجراء الذي يتخذه القضاء في هذه الحالة بعد ذلك في حال عدم وجود حسابات أو أموال للمنفذ ضده في بنوك الدولة؟ وقانونًا إلى متى أنتظر وماذا أفعل؟

Hi, I have a tenant who defaulted on rent payment. His cheque bounced due to account closure. He promised cash payment but hasn't delivered. I want to evict him. The property is in Dubai. How do I proceed legally? Appreciate step-by-step guidance according to the law. Thank you!

Salam, I received an email from a company in the UAE - which is a collection agency - informing me that I had a travel ban and arrest warrant issued in the UAE for an unpaid loan a week ago. I currently live in the US. I have sent them many emails asking them how can I pay or make installments to settle this amount of 332,430 dirhams. I am currently working with them and trying to resolve the issue. My question is I would like to know if I travel for 5 days to Doha, Qatar in May, will I be detained or I will be ok? I don’t believe so I just want to be sure because I will be with my family. Thank you again.

Is it legal for debt collectors to contact the employee's workplace when you have defaulted on your payment?

My company engaged a Dubai-based entity, registered in India, on a three-month contract for project upgrade, maintenance, and delivery. Then they ceased communication 2 weeks before completion and failed to deliver the promised services after payment. What legal recourse should my company pursue? What specific legal expertise or counsel should we seek to address this breach of contract?
