I had given a cash loan of 1.2 million to a restaurant owner in Dubai for 1 year, on a PDC security. They served me some profit for almost a year, and when the date of repayment came, he started giving me different dates. I bounced the cheques and complained in Dubai police, the police have opened a case and put a travel ban on the signing authority. While running out of the country, the lady who was the signing authority was arrested and sent to the police station and from there to the public prosecution. They used some links and skipped out of the country although the company and other partners are still in Dubai. Please advise me what should be done to recover the amount, as the signing authority ran away.

I want to divorce my husband; my concerns are as below; If the divorce proceeding is under Sharia Law, what are my chances when it comes to; 1. Child Custody & guardianship - I believe I will get the custody until age 11. My question is if the husband is unemployed for 6 months now, can he still be considered as guardian since he can't provide for the family? And if I can show that he has never been a provider for the family (basically, I pay ALL the bills since we got married) & I have a proof that he had an affair a year ago, can I get the guardianship as well & full custody? Can the child get an opportunity to choose where he wants to live with when he reaches puberty? 2. DIVISION OF ASSETS - Since I got a land inheritance from my parents, is he entitled to get 1/2 of the property? Obviously, he has no house/properties in his home country as well as savings and I am worried he will get everything. I own 50/50 in which he didn't sweat a dime on it. Awaiting your advice.

Can I be held financially/legally liable for any actions of my ex-partner after exiting the business by share transfer?

Compensation for poor performance & false accusations. We hired a consultancy agency to provide us with their services. During our working relationship, the deliveries were consistently late, and the service was unreliable. We gave them numerous chances to improve performance and meet timelines. The details of these problems have been communicated to them repeatedly but they did not address the problems in a timely manner, causing us extra expenses in addition to mental and emotional agony. During the project, my father passed away & they have used this matter as an excuse to pause work on the project without notifying us causing us further delays. Recently, we serviced them a notice for contract termination for their failure to adhere to mentioned services. In response, they have wrongfully accused me of talking badly about their staff & making insulting & inappropriate comments about their work which have made the working relationship difficult. Do we have legal rights to pursue?

Is there a law or decree stating that a child (age 14) cannot be forced to live with one parent, in particular, if they do not want to (after a divorce)? Does the child have the choice?
