Hi, I left Dubai halfway through my contract because of a family ailment. I didn't give notice, I had a leave and resigned when I got home. It's been 2 years since. How do I know whether I am able to enter Dubai for layover flights?

Dear Sir/Madam, I have been working as a Civil Engineer in a Dubai-based construction company since 2003 with an unlimited contract. Due to financial issues, the company has decided not to renew its license and is closing down, but they have the dues that have to be paid to the local sponsor and he is not signing the cancellation papers. Please advise how I can get my visa canceled.

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.

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.

If you have been sentenced for a bounced cheque and then a civil case is brought against you, what would happen if you do not have all the funds to pay the full amount? Would the judge accept a lump sum and then installments until all the money is repaid?
