How to enforce an execution file for alimony and maintenance if my ex-husband offers settlement?
Q: Hello. The question is about my execution file in the Court of Personal Status in Dubai.
In 2013, a judgment was made for the father to pay AED 2K monthly for Nafaqa (alimony) and AED 40K annually for house rent. However, the father consistently delayed payments, despite having a monthly income of AED 30K.
I attempted to settle the matter through court procedures in 2015 and 2017, but the father didn't follow through. By 2021, the outstanding amount was AED 145K, leading me to request an arrest warrant.
The father claims he's not working, but I am aware he's involved in a construction business with his brother to avoid court responsibilities. He has no property or financial resources to block.
In 2023, the outstanding amount increased to AED 206K. The father hired a lawyer to remove the arrest warrant, and now they seek a settlement. The court admin insists I attend the settlement meeting.
What do you suggest?
How can I protect the rights of me and my daughter, since I cannot afford a lawyer?

تنفيذ حكم النفقة للزوجة والأطفال
س: طليقي المسلم لا يدفع لنا نفقة المعيشة الشهرية لابنه المسلم الذي في حضانتي (أنا مسلمة أيضًا) من عام 2012 حتى الآن.
حكمت محكمة دبي عليه بتقديم دعم شهري لنا بقيمة ألف درهم إماراتي، لكنه لم يدفع أي شيء. لقد توقف طفلي عن الدراسة لأنني لم أعد أستطيع توفير احتياجات مدرسته.
ليس لدي أي فكرة الآن عما إذا كان لا يزال هنا في الإمارات أم غادرها لأن الأرقام التي نعرفها له لم تعد تعمل. يرجى تقديم المشورة، ما الذي ينبغي علي أن أفعله؟
ذهبت إلى "محكمة دبي" مؤخرًا ولكن لم يتم دفع ولا فلس. يبلغ المبلغ 90000 درهم.
شكرًا لك.

I have been here for 3 years now and paid the increased amount (as per the agreement) for the 4th year.

Do smart police stations in Dubai override official filing hours for legal deadlines?
Dear Lawyers,
The case needs to be filed during official working hours, on a subsequent working day (if the last day falls on an official holiday), in Dubai.
With Smart Police Stations operating 24/7, how are these situations considered?
Should the case be filed during working hours, say before 3 PM, etc.?

Can I request reopening a civil case if the judgment was in my absence due to sending notices to the wrong address?
Lawyers misunderstood my question. Please read carefully and then guide me.
Case Type: Civil Case
Claim amount: 400,000
Paid: 65,000
Reason: Commercial agreement of supply
Emirate: Ajman
This case was registered in 2022. The judgment was in my absence, as notices were sent to the wrong address.
I was sent to jail. I made a down payment, bailed, and paid some more amount as installments. The total paid amount is AED 65000.
Now, again, an arrest warrant is issued as I did not pay the remaining 335,000 of the claim.
According to me, I had to pay only this amount because the executioner made a wrong claim, not as per the genuine claim.
So I want to reopen the case file.
I want the court to reinvestigate and start the case from scratch.
1) How can I make that request?
2) What documents are required?
3) Chances of reopening of case?
4) Cancellation of arrest warrant
Please guide me in detail, as I will do everything myself, as I cannot afford a lawyer right now.

If a bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts. Is a travel ban automatically applied?
A bank has filed an execution cheques case through the Dubai Courts due to nonpayment of a personal loan and credit card.
Is a travel ban automatically applied?
I looked on the Dubai Courts website, and it says the judge has issued a “reserved” order for my case.
Furthermore, when the bank emails, they threaten me with a travel ban. So I am assuming there is no travel ban issued (but I don’t know). I haven’t received any notice of a travel ban.
If there is a travel ban, how do I find out?
I have checked the Dubai police app, and there are no financial crimes against me.
Please advise if you know.

I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency and it was canceled two days before Eid. What to do?
I booked a hotel stay for Eid through a travel agency two weeks before Eid. The travel agency confirmed the booking on payment.
One day before Eid, the agency reached out, saying they had an issue with the supplier/hotel and the booking would be cancelled.
They offered alternative hotels that didn’t match the original property. I suggested some properties, and they couldn’t arrange them, or they asked for further payment, so I didn’t book anything through them.
What are my rights to a refund and compensation, as I had to book other arrangements separately at a significantly higher cost due to the last-minute prices?
It also caused significant emotional distress, less than 24 hours before the holiday. To which authority can a complaint be made in case of an unsatisfactory outcome?
Both the agency and the hotel are in Dubai.
