Can the father claim the custody of my son when he turns 11 years?
Hi,
I received custody of my son, he has already turned 11.
So far, his father has not claimed custody. Can he claim custody or does he lose it after a certain period of time?
If I remarry, will I lose the child maintenance and accommodation provided for my son?
Greetings.
You can keep custody of your son until the father demands that the child be taken into his care because he has reached the age of male custody.
The mother’s mere marriage is not considered a loss of custody, but rather if the father demands a claim of his eligibility for custody because of the mother’s marriage, and this matter is more if the child is a girl because there is a stranger in the house.

The father, as the legal guardian, generally retains the right to claim custody of his son until the child reaches adulthood (which is typically 21 years in the UAE).
The fact that the father has not claimed custody so far does not necessarily mean he has waived his right.
He can still file a request for custody, but the court will always prioritize the child’s best interests.
If you remarry, you may lose custody of your son unless the court determines that remaining with you is in the child’s best interests.

My dear.
The basic principle is that if the father remains silent about requesting custody of the child for a period of (6) months, he does not have the right to request it again, but in the event of marriage to another person, he can file a case to end your custody of the child.
