Son's rights in child support
0
Q: I have a 3-year-old son who is currently being diagnosed with a disease that requires immediate medical attention and enough funding to avoid complication in his heart. Prior to this situation, I have asked his father months ago of his paternal obligation and financial support to our son but he has intentionally ignored us up to this date because he has a new family but they know of my sons' existence.
I am very much desperate considering that time is very important and I don't have enough money to support the medical needs of my son. How can I oblige the father who is currently working in a big company in Dubai and does nothing on this matter?

Forcing the biological father of illegal daughter to acknowledge paternity

3
Q: Hello,
My Moroccan wife (at the time of the incident, now divorced/ex-wife) was impregnated by an Emirati. I found out about it after I took her to Germany (my home country), thinking it's my child.
The baby girl was born there. I filed for a DNA test, which result was 100% negative, this was then legally confirmed by the German court.
I am currently in Dubai and intend to locate the biological father, with the intention of him acknowledging parentage and taking legal responsibility.
Is there a law firm specialized in such cases? If so, what are the steps that need to be taken?
I am not after revenge or money, I only want to secure the baby girl's rights.
Thanks

View allTerminating an employee after sick leave and claiming compensation 0
Hello,
My employer fired me under Article 44 for not showing up for work for 7 days in a row. But that’s not the case at all. I was sick and the management was aware and they let me go.
I went to another country to get treatment because it’s expensive in Dubai. My employer did not pay me my salary for the month I worked and fired me.
I have official sick leave from another country and there is correspondence where my employer sent me to another country for treatment.
The problem is that the employer says that he will take compensation for the training that was specified in the contract, but I did not undergo training at all; I immediately started work from the first day of work and there was no training.
Does my employer have the right to charge me such a fee and not pay my salary?

How to cancel the MoU to buy an apartment with the broker if the bank did not approve the loan? 0
Hi,
I have a situation where I signed an MoU and gave my security deposit to the seller's agent. However later, the bank valuation of the property is lower than the selling price.
On my MoU, it has a clause that “the buyer has a right to cancel/negotiate if the bank valuation is not the same as MoU.” I tried to negotiate, however, we didn't agree on the price so I asked to cancel.
Now the agent is threatening me that they will not cancel the MoU and that will deposit my cheque. Later I also came to know that the person I am dealing with is not the same person whose name is mentioned as a broker in the MoU.
The agent I am dealing with is constantly messaging me with threats. I decided not to speak to him and instead, I wrote an email to the broker whose name is mentioned on the MoU but received no response.
I am on a very tight timeline as I need to vacate my apartment in 3 weeks, I found another unit but I don't know if I can pursue this while the initial MoU still not canceled.
Please, I need advice.
