1
س: السلام عليكم.
اتفقت أنا وزوجتي على الطلاق بالتراضي. أنا أسكن في الشارقة وإقامتي من دبي.
- أين علينا التوجه لبدء إجراءات الطلاق؟ هل يمكن أن أقوم بها في الشارقة؟
- هل هناك إجراءات طلاق سريع بحيث ينتهي في زيارة واحدة مع القاضي بدلاً من القيام بعدة جلسات مع الموجه الأسري؟
- ليس لدينا أقارب أو أصدقاء مقربين ليشهدوا على الطلاق، فهل تقوم المحكمة بتأمين الشهود من جهتها ليشهدوا على واقعة الطلاق؟
- إقامة زوجتي على كفالتي وتنتهي في ٤/٢٠٢١، هل تلغى إقامتها فوراً عند الطلاق أم تبقى سارية على إقامتي حتي تنتهي في وقتها الطبيعي ٤/٢٠٢١؟
شكراً جزيلاً.

The rights of the wife for maintenance and residency after divorce
3
Q: Hi,
I am living in the UAE with my husband. (We're married Islamically). We moved to the UAE for a job opportunity for him and I followed, giving up my career.
We have been separated for 4 months but still living together in separate rooms. The plan was to try to work on ourselves and move forward.
When we first moved to the UAE, it was challenging for me to find an opportunity in my studied field and I went into another profession. I have recently put in my notice at my job for the betterment of what's left of my marriage.
I planned to find another job in the coming months. Two months ago I found out that my husband cheated and has been involved with another woman.
As I am under his sponsorship (residency), do I have rights in the UAE should we get divorced?
That is to stay, look for another job or for him to pay a sort of maintenance to me until I find another job?

Can I appeal a deportation in the UAE if I was unknowingly involved in a crypto scam? 0
Hello,
Please, I need help. I had a case where someone sent money to my account. I was selling USDT, but another person used me, scammed the person, and sent money to my account.
I sent the USDT. I didn't know the person who sent the money to my account, so I gave him the USDT. Later, I was arrested for scam and using cryptocurrency without a license.
The judgment came out: to pay 900 AED, 1 month imprisonment, and deportation. Please, can I appeal not to be deported?

Am I required to replace an old fridge owned by the landlord if it can't be repaired? 0
Hello,
My rental here in Dubai comes with a fridge and cooker. I believe these to be at least 10 years old. The fridge has now stopped working and requires a part to be replaced.
This comes at a cost of 540 AED, which is over the agreed amount that I am responsible for. My Ejari comes with an extra addendum provided by the landlord, which states:
1. The landlord is responsible for major maintenance of the apartment (namely structural, electrical, and plumbing) exceeding 500 AED + 5% VAT. The tenant is responsible for any minor maintenance as needed as a result of wear and tear.
2. The property is leased with the following assets (fridge and cooker) owned by the landlord in working condition and should be returned in the same condition. Any maintenance required is the tenant’s responsibility.
My question is:
If I'm unable to fix this fridge, do I have to provide a new one? The company looking to repair the fridge is having an issue finding the part needed, as it is old.
