2
س: السلام عليكم،
طليقتي حاضنة لأطفالي (أعمارهما ١٠ و٨ سنوات). أدفع نفقة شهرية وإيجار مسكن. اتفقت معها على نقل حضانة الأطفال لي بعد انتهاء العام الدراسي. حسب ما فهمت، لا توجد وثيقة قانونية/شرعية لتنازل الأم عن حضانة أطفالها.
هل يكون الاتفاق معها وديًا بدون أي وثائق تضمن حقوقي؟
في حال اتفقنا وديًا وانتقلت الحضانة لي:
- كيف أوثق قانونيًا أن الحضانة انتقلت لي وأن أضمن حقي بأنها لن تطالبني بالنفقة ولا بالمسكن عند انتقال الأولاد إلى حضانتي؟
- كيف أضمن حقي بأنها لن تأخذ الأولاد ثانية إلى حضانتها في حال غيرت رأيها في المستقبل؟
ولكم جزيل الشكر!

Mother's reunification with daughters while there is a divorce process

2
Q: Hi,
I am a Muslim mother of two daughters, aged 3 and 6. I am in the process of a divorce and my husband has taken my daughters away from me, despite my legal custody of them.
I reached out to the authorities, but when I saw my daughters one month later, they refused to come with me.
My husband and his childless aunt have manipulated them. I have a good record as a good mother, I work, provide for my daughters, and they have great school records. We participate in many activities.
The father is a drug addict and has been in psychiatric care several times (a report will be provided as the court has officially requested it). Additionally, he has not paid for the children's welfare since 2020 and there is an arrest warrant against him.
He left the marital home 2 and a half years ago.
What should I do to get my daughters back?
The aunt is also taking pictures and videos and sending them to social media without my consent as the legal custodian.
Can I sue her for this?

نظرة على التعديلات الأخيرة على قانون الأحوال الشخصية الإماراتي 7
الأسرة هي عماد المجتمع، ويدور صلاحه مع صلاحها وجوداً وعدماً، فأن فسدت الاسرة فسد المجتمع؛ ولذلك اعتنت الشريعة الإسلامية بتنظيم العلاقات الاسرية أيما عناية. فالزوج والزوجة هما الأصول التي يتفرع منها الأبناء، فإن لم تستقِم العلاقة بينهما انعكس ذلك على بقية أفراد الاسرة من الأبناء وبالتالي فسد مجتمع الأسرة. وفي دولة الامارات العربية المتحدة يولي المشرع اهتماماً بشؤون الأسرة من خلال قانون الأحوال الشخصية الإماراتي وتقنينه من وقت لآخر بإجراء عدد من التعديلات عليه لكي يتماشى مع أوضاع الأسرة المختلفة.

ماهية الإستشارة القانونية 0
إن الاستشارات القانونية هي أحد أهم أعمال المحاماة، وقد يعتقد البعض أنه ليس من الضروري تعيين محامي متخصص لأعمالهم أو شركاتهم إلا في حال التعرض لمشاكل قانونية، إلا أن حقيق الأمر تتطلب الحذر دائمًا، فبدلًا من أن تواجه ردود أفعال غير مرغوب فيها قد تكلفك الكثير من الوقت والجهد والمال، يمكنك الحصول على استشارة قانونية أياً كانت قيمتها فلا تقارن بقيمة الخسائر المادية والمشاكل القانونية التي قد تنتج عن التصرف بدونها، ولعل كثرة القضايا والمنازعات سببها عدم أخذ الرأي القانوني من أهل الخبرة.

Liability for the unpaid loan 31
I was jailed for 4 months for not being able to pay a loan from a Dubai bank since I've lost my job in 2011.
After my release, I tried looking for a job but was unsuccessful, so I went back to my home country when my visa expired but still the bank is sending emails and threatening me and wants to collect money from me.
Now that I am back here in Dubai, they threatened to file a ban against me and told me that I cannot get my visa renewed if I will not pay them.
Can the bank do such THING? I already have accepted the punishment of serving jail time since during that time I didn't have a JOB and was totally broke. What can I do so that they will stop harassing me?
What does the law say if someone had served the sentence for a bouncing check case?
Thanks and hoping to be enlightened.
