Why is only 10% of my interim financial support request approved?

Thank you for reaching out regarding your interim order claim!

It’s not uncommon for judges to approve only a portion of the requested financial support during divorce proceedings, especially if they find that the full amount is not justified based on the evidence presented.

The decision typically considers factors such as the financial needs of both parties, the standard of living during the marriage, and the available financial resources.

To proceed with execution, you can take the following steps:

- Review the Judge's Ruling:

Carefully analyze the judge's decision and any accompanying rationale. Understanding the reasons behind the partial approval will help in formulating your next steps.

- Gather Additional Evidence:

If you believe that you can substantiate a case for a higher amount, gather relevant documentation, such as financial statements, receipts, and any other supporting evidence.

- File a Request for Review or Modification:

Depending on your situation, you may be able to file for a review of the interim order if there are significant changes in circumstances or if you can provide compelling evidence that justifies a higher support amount.

- Consider Legal Representation:

Having an attorney assist you can greatly improve your chances of successfully navigating the process and advocating for your interests.

If you’d like to discuss this matter further or need assistance with your next steps, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp, phone or email. I would be more than happy to assist you.

Dear Questioner,

Steps to proceed with enforcement and request additional support:

- Enforcement:

You can submit a copy of the judge’s order to the enforcement authority (such as the court or authorized body), and follow local legal procedures to obtain the allocated amount.

- Submit a request for modification:

If you feel the amount is insufficient, you can submit a request for modification of the original order, providing additional evidence to support your financial needs, such as details of essential expenses or insufficient income to cover financial obligations.

- Request a full hearing:

You can request a detailed hearing on the “post-divorce financial order” so that the request can be re-evaluated based on your and the other party's full financial circumstances.

Hello,

The judge may have assessed that only part of the requested amount was essential to cover your immediate needs, and thus limited the amount to what was deemed necessary for basic living expenses.

Since the "post-divorce financial order" is still being processed, the court may have reserved a full assessment of financial obligations until it can review all financial circumstances in detail.

For final financial settlements, the court typically conducts a detailed review of both parties’ financial situations, including income, assets, and debts.

Interim orders are temporary and may not reflect a full picture of your financial situation, as they’re generally awarded based on initial documentation and without a thorough financial investigation.

If the evidence submitted was insufficient to justify the full amount requested, this could lead to a reduction.

If you believe you have grounds to request a higher interim amount, you can file a petition for reconsideration.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your confidence!

According to Article 127 of the UAE Personal Status Law, the court may order the husband to provide financial support to his ex-wife during the period between the divorce and the finalization of the post-divorce financial order.

This support is meant to cover the ex-wife's basic needs such as housing, food, and clothing.

The court's decision to approve only 10% of the requested amount may be based on several factors, such as the husband's financial situation, the ex-wife's financial needs, and the duration of the interim period.

The court may also take into consideration any evidence or arguments presented by both parties during the hearing.

To proceed with the execution, you will need to obtain a certified copy of the court's decision and submit it to the relevant authorities, such as the police or the bank, to enforce the order.

You may also seek the assistance of a lawyer to help you with the execution process.

If you believe that the approved amount is not sufficient to cover your basic needs, you may file an appeal against the court's decision.

You will need to provide new evidence or arguments to support your claim for a higher amount of financial support.

In addition, you may also consider seeking further support through other means, such as seeking employment or applying for social assistance programs.

It is important to keep all documentation and evidence of your financial needs and efforts to support yourself during this interim period.

Greetings,

Dear Questioner,

When a court awards an interim order, it considers various factors including your immediate financial needs, such as housing, food, transportation, and medical expenses.

The court considers your income, assets, and any other financial resources available to you.

The court may also consider the other party's financial circumstances to determine what they can reasonably afford to pay,
