Now, I want to come back to Dubai but I had some unsettled matters and I just want to confirm that there is no legal case or complaint registered against me.

Checking a case or travel ban after clearing a bank debt
0
Q: I left the UAE in 2009 having cleared my bank debt. In 2011, I travelled back to Dubai for work without any issues.
Recently, I received a mail from a supposed debt collection firm based in Sharjah claiming I owed money to another bank. They could not send me any details and therefore, I thought it might be a scam.
To be on the side of caution, as I am due to travel back to Dubai, I would like to check if there is any case or travel ban against me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Steve.

What to do if you received a call from a person claiming to be a lawyer 0
I received an unsolicited call on a Saturday night (6.06pm to be precise), on my mobile phone in my place of residence from a lawyer (think he's actually a partner) claiming to represent my ex-wife in a matter pertaining to a divorce agreement that was ratified in Zimbabwe at the end of August.
He threatened that the full force of his law firm will be thrown at me if I did not settle the monetary claim within 48 hours of our telephone discussion. 80% of the monetary amount in question was actually remitted that afternoon, prior to his call, which he didn't bother to inquire about.
There was no formal notification in writing that their services had indeed being retained by my ex-wife. I am not sure if he followed due process & his threats could be construed as coercion in a matter that was all but resolved.

Is it legal to discuss maintenance of a child with the employer of my ex-husband? 1
Hello.
I would like to know if it is legal or illegal to contact my ex-husband's HR dept due to his refusal to pay for child support since the birth of our child (Age 16 now). He lives and works in Dubai.
I have remarried and have other children, moved to Abu Dhabi 1 1/2 yrs back and contacted him at his office. He has failed on every promise until now. I cant afford the high legal fees to file a case.
Please, let me know what are my options. Thanks.
