Claiming maintenance for wife and child from husband
2
Q: Both my husband and I are Indian - Keralite Roman Catholic staying in Dubai. I have been a victim of emotional and financial domestic abuse from my husband and my in-laws over dowry. Where do I stand legally in this matter?
A year ago, my husband abandoned me and my child in my parents' place and went to Australia. He does not want to communicate with me despite my efforts of trying to contact him and remains hostile towards me. Where do I stand legally?
Mine and my child’s maintenance has always been provided for by my parents and self-finance (I am working too) because of my husband’s bank loans and job loss in Dubai.
Now he found employment in Australia but he does not want to provide maintenance for me and my child. Additionally, he demands that I pay for his business class tickets if I want him to come to Dubai to keep my UAE visa.
Can I claim for maintenance from my husband without a divorce In this regard?

Filing a case for child custody and maintenance

0
Q: Dear Sir,
My husband and I are separated. I have a 7-month-old baby to whom he provided no support whatsoever, however, he is holding all her IDs with the intention of harming me.
Would it be possible to open a case and ask to be the guardian and custodian of the baby, so that all the rights will be with me and the so-called father will have no responsibilities nor rights over the child?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Fatma

Acting against the threats of husband after abandoning family
3
Q: I am here in India and my husband works in Dubai. He has abandoned me and my children.
He is calling me up now and threatening me of committing suicide, and also he wrote a suicide letter which mentions my name on it so that I get caught.
I have a video where I have recorded all this conversation of him threatening me on a call. I have already reported this matter to Dubai police but no action has been taken.
I want to report against him for mental harassment against me and my children and non-stop threats to my life, along with mentally harassing me with suicide threats.

No response deadline from judge for husband on maintenance request. What now?



1
Q: Dear Sir/Madam,
I had submitted an urgent request through the Al Adheed Centre to seek alimony/maintenance from my husband for the expenses of myself and my son.
Our court case has been ongoing for a while, and we are not currently living together. As of now, my husband has not been providing any maintenance.
Today, the judgment was delivered, and the judge stated, "The person against whom the claim is made shall be notified for comment" (يخطر المعروض ضده للتعقيب). What does this mean?
Additionally, the judge did not specify a date for my husband to submit a response or make payments.
Please advise!

After 11 months of work, how many leave days is an employee entitled to? 0
Hello,
I want to inquire regarding my leave privileges. I am now 11 months in my company. How many leaves am I privileged to?
Based on Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations and its executive regulations, you are entitled to a paid weekly rest for not less than one day, as specified in the work contract or the work regulation.
The Council of Ministers may increase the weekly rest day stipulated in this article. The Decree-Law and its executive regulations also stipulate that you are entitled to an annual leave with full pay as follows:
- Thirty days for each year of your extended service.
- Two days per month in respect of any employee with more than six months and less than one year of service.
- Leave for parts of the last year of your service in case it is terminated before you use your annual leave balance.
Now my question is: do I have 22 days I can use? Can someone explain to me in detail?
Thank you!

What can I do if my neighbors are constantly doing construction work and constantly drilling? 0
I live in a townhouse with a shared wall with my neighbors. They are constantly doing construction work and constantly drilling on the shared wall.
They said it will last for 2 months, working 6 days a week. It is driving us crazy, and there is no way to live this way, and I have to work from home.
I am very stressed. What is the immediate solution, please?
