Is it legal to discuss maintenance of a child with the employer of my ex-husband?

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.

Dear,

You may file a case for maintenance and if he claims for the custody of the child then you will have to hand over if a boy is above 13 and for girls above 16.

Moreover, you should follow the process of the court and not by calling him at the office.

You may also discuss with me in details and in confidentiality.

Can I send him a demand letter to his office?

Yes, you can but should be addressed to him.

Would it be okay to approach his HR dept to discuss this matter or go to file a case?

I have been quoted a very high amount for the filing of a case that's why I am avoiding taking things to court.

You need to follow prescribed legal procedure, without such this will be tantamount to harassment & nuisance.
