1
Q: Hello,
I would love to understand the new child custody laws in-depth for non-Muslim residents.
My wife was granted our child's custody in the judgment of the first instance court but I have appealed against it.
Having said that, I have a family here in Dubai to support raising my son whereas my wife has only herself (she is currently employed) and has a nanny only.
How can I get full custody of our son or maybe apply for joint custody as per the new law?

هل يمكنني المطالبة بحضانة ابنتي في الإمارات إذا حصلت عليها بالفعل من محكمة باكستانية؟
1
س: حصلت على الطلاق في باكستان ولدي ابنة تبلغ من العمر 3 سنوات. أنا وابنتي نعيش في الإمارات وزوجي السابق يعيش في باكستان.
لقد رفع قضية ضدي بتهمة اختطاف الأطفال/سرقة الأطفال في محكمة باكستانية. ولم يمنحني النفقة التي قررتها المحكمة الباكستانية.
ماذا يقول قانون دولة الإمارات عن ذلك؟
ما هي حقوقي؟
لقد حصلت بالفعل على الحضانة من المحكمة الباكستانية، فهل يمكنني الحصول على الحضانة هنا أيضًا؟

هل يمكن أن تطعن محكمة إماراتية على حكم صادر في دولة أجنبية؟
2
س: أنا وزوجتي السابقة من نفس الجنسية وغير مسلمان. تزوجنا في بلدنا الأم وتم الطلاق هناك في شهر فبراير 2021.
منحتني المحكمة في بلدنا الأم حضانة الأطفال. يبلغ الأطفال من العمر 16 و9 سنوات – يعيشان معي في دولة الإمارات. ويذهبان إلى المدرسة هنا في دولة الإمارات. على أي حال، رفضت زوجتي السابقة العودة إلى الوطن وهي الآن مقيمة غير شرعية تعيش هنا في دولة الإمارات بموجب تأشيرة سياحية منتهية الصلاحية وغرامات تجاوز مدة الإقامة المفروضة عليها تزيد على 6000 درهم.
لقد عينت في الوقت الحالي محامٍ هنا في دولة الإمارات لمحاولة استعادة الحضانة. هل يمكنها فعل ذلك؟ أو على وجه الدقة، هل يمكن أن تتدخل محكمة دولة الإمارات في حكم صادر من محكمة بلدنا الأم؟

Dear Team,
I have an issue with my credit card, which was issued in 2013 and I used the same till 2018, all the payments had done on time.

This year, two months back, I came back to UAE. Now the bank team is asking for a huge amount for the settlement.

I am a doctor by profession, and my contract with my company was valid till June 2023.

Do I have any rights or claim of my unpaid salaries from the court in such a scenario?

I bought a flat in April in Dubai with my husband. The flat has a tenant with a rental contract from the previous owner.
The tenancy contract expires in June. The tenant has previously committed to leave and now wants to stay.

عرض الجميعLandlord cashed my rent but won’t renew Ejari unless I accept a higher deposit. What should I do? 0
Hello,
I had a rental dispute case with my landlord. Based on the judgment, I paid the entire rent to the landlord, which the landlord has already cashed.
He is not issuing the Ejari because he wants to increase the security deposit by 10% every year, which I am not accepting. I have already given the 5% security deposit.
The landlord is not accepting it. He is forcing me to sign a new agreement, otherwise he will not renew the lease agreement.
Please let me know what I should do.

How can victims file a group case for fraud, bounced cheques, and misuse of credit cards? 0
Hello,
I would like to ask for legal advice regarding a fraud case in Abu Dhabi involving multiple victims. The suspect issued bounced cheques, received AED with a promise to exchange it into IDR but failed to deliver, misused other people’s credit cards, and operated an unlicensed travel/tour business.
Many clients paid for Umrah or vacation packages that never happened. The total loss is significant, and many victims have evidence such as WhatsApp chats, bank transfers, and bounced cheques.
We believe this involves a breach of trust and embezzlement. We would like to know if we can file a group case, what legal steps to take, and the cost of legal representation.
Thank you!

How can I refund the amount of online tickets in Dubai for fraudulant misrepresentation? 0
Last Friday, I was booking tickets for the Miracle Garden on some Dubai tickets website, and on the OTP page, it showed 225 to be paid on my phone. The otp was added automatically, and I couldn't read the message properly. It turns out 4,225 got deducted from my account.
I immediately called the bank, and they said they can't reverse the transaction, fill out the dispute resolution form, etc. Even tho the transaction was in process today, the transfer shows complete.
Is there a way to get it back?
I registered an online complaint with the Central Bank and cybersecurity. I really need the money with my rent coming up, please guide me.

What to do if someone impersonated an employee in the company I own and got mobile lines and phones? 0
Someone impersonated an employee in the company I have owned since 2012 and extracted 18 mobile lines in addition to several iPhones.
I was surprised that the company cut off our landline and mobile communications on the pretext that he was monitoring a debt of 167,000 dirhams.
This person was arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced to deportation. However, the telecommunications company is still demanding from my company and pursuing me because of this debt that we are not to blame for.
How can this matter be resolved?

How long does it take for a bounced cheque case to be closed after a settlement? 0
Hello,
I had a cheque bounce case filed against me in Dubai, but I’ve now settled it with the complainant. The case has been with the Public Prosecution, and I’ve already submitted the notarized settlement documents.
It’s been 5 days since submission, and when I checked with the legal team, they couldn’t give me a clear timeline on how long it might take for the case to be withdrawn and for me to receive clearance.
Does anyone here have experience with this process? How long did it take for your case to be closed after submitting the notarized withdrawal request? Should I expect it to be done in a few days, or could it take longer?
Thanks in advance!
