Q: Alimony Money after Divorce Hi, I am going through a divorce with my first wife. The court has advised up to discuss the alimony money. She continues to increase her demand and is demanding much more than she originally requested to the court as she filed for the divorce. I would like to understand how much will be the alimony money if the court makes the decision, and how much should be the kids' expenses. Info: My current salary is 23K. I have 4 children with my first wife from whom I am getting a divorce. I have one kid with my second wife. I have my mother under my sponsorship as my father passed away recently. I have a bank loan where I need to pay AED 9,000 every month. My first wife is demanding approximately AED 11,000 (as expenses) plus accommodation, school fees and custody charges, which comes around 20K every month. In this situation, I am left wit 3Kh only to pay loans, my living, support the second wife, kid and mother. Thanks!

Q: I am divorcing my wife. She will have custody of our 3 children. My monthly salary is AED 20,000. I have a bank loan that I repay every month, and the repayment amount is AED 9,000. When the UAE courts calculate 'child maintenance' and 'alimony', will they calculate based on the AED 20,000 that I earn or on the AED 11,000 that is remaining after I pay my monthly loan instalment? Please advise. Thank you

س: السلام عليكم، طليقتي سعودية وحاصلة على الجنسية المصرية وتعيش في مصر وأنا مقيم في الإمارات. تطالب طليقتي بزيادة النفقة الشهرية لابنتي التي تعيش معها وعمرها ١١ عامًا. أرسل حوالة بنكية كل شهر بمبلغ ١٨٠٠ درهم مصاريف ابنتي شاملة كل شيء والآن طليقتي تطلب الزيادة عن طريق محاكم دبي للأسرة. أرجو النصيحة! وهل يمكن أن تحصل طليقتي على زيادة في النفقة؟

س: السلام عليكم، أرجو التوضيح! من المعلوم أن الاتفاق أمام التوجيه الأسري وفق المادة 16 الفقرة الثانية يعتبر سندًا تنفيذيًا ولا يجوز الطعن فيه، ولكن أيضًا النفقة ذات حجية متغيرة ويُراعَى فيها الزمان والمكان، فهل إذا اتفق الطرفان على مبلغ نفقة لا يحق لأحدهما طلب الزيادة أو النقصان بعد مرور سنة؟
