Dear Questioner,

Good day!

In Dubai, if you have won a case and the father of your children is required to make payments but has fled the UAE, there are several steps involved in the execution of the court's decision.

- Execution Process Timeframe:

The timeframe for executing a court decision can vary based on the specifics of the case and the actions of the parties involved.

If the debtor (in this case, the father) has left the UAE, the execution process can be more complex and may take longer.

The court will typically first try to enforce the decision within the UAE, but if the debtor is abroad, this may involve international legal procedures or cooperation.

- Validity of Court Documents:

The documents you have from the court are valid and crucial for the enforcement process. These documents usually include the court's judgment and any orders for enforcement.

You should keep these documents safe, as they will be needed to demonstrate the court's decision and your right to enforce it.

- International Enforcement:

If the debtor has left the UAE, you might need to involve international legal assistance. This could include working with authorities in the country where the debtor has moved, which might involve filing for enforcement in that jurisdiction or seeking international cooperation.

- Dubai Courts and Execution:

You should follow up with the Dubai courts to understand the specific procedures for cases where the debtor is abroad. The court might also have mechanisms to help track the debtor or work with international legal authorities.

Overall, while the execution process can be delayed if the debtor has fled, having legal guidance and understanding the procedures involved will be crucial in seeking the support you need.

Kindly do not hesitate to contact us via phone or email for further guidance.

Greetings,

Dear Questioner,

According to UAE law, the execution process can take up to two years to be completed.

However, if the father has left the country, it may take longer as the court will need to locate him and serve him with the execution order.

The validity of the court documents is usually one year, but it can be extended upon request.

The judgment can be enforced within 15 years from the date it was issued.
