Good Morning, Due to the global pandemic, Hotels and Tourism business is majorly effected and that resulted in my 50% salary reduction for the month of March, April 2020. I am not sure if I might get paid these coming months as well. My wife is a Cabin Crew and is effected with the same salary reduction scenario and due to no flights assigned is getting paid only 20% of the actual she was earning before the Covid-19 outbreak. I politely requested my landlord to either decrease rent for the month my salary will be effected or extend the tenancy contract free of charge for a few months, that will ease my financial burden for the Year 2020. Please guide me through this financial crisis & rental relief situation. Thank you

A labor court judgment was ruled in my favor (I'm an employee) in December 2019, against my ex-employer, for nonpayment of salaries, expense claims, and gratuity. Unfortunately, they still haven't settled my dues. Worse, the owners left the country and the company no longer exists in its physical form; there is only a legal structure. They do not have any assets either. Does it make sense to still seek judgment execution? Also, are there any provisions to pursue the execution order in their present country of residence?

Respected sir, I am a student and I am 17 years old. Recently I found out that I can make some money by sitting at home and doing online surveys. I need that money so that I do not bother my parents with my small needs and also will, in turn, help them to save money. My question is that: is it legal and safe to do these online surveys? On the website, it is mentioned that if I am above 13, I can do these surveys. Please guide me!  Yours Respectfully,

امتنع المحامي عن إعطائي الربع القانوني بعد صدور الحكم بسبب رفضي إعطائه أتعاب المحاماة التي حكمت لي المحكمة بها والاقتصار على دفع أتعابه بموجب اتفاقية الأتعاب. يقول أن له الحق بأتعاب المحكمة والأتعاب التي اتفقنا عليها. ما الحل القانوني لهذه المشكلة؟

I have gotten a judgment from Dubai court for my final settlement more than 2 months ago. My company has closed now How can I get my gratuity and how much time does it take?

Needed to know if I am eligible to file for mutual divorce as an Indian expat living in Dubai and holding an Indian passport and also have Canadian PR. My husband is a Canadian citizen working in Saudi on a work visa. What are my rights? Can I ask for alimony? Can I file for divorce from Dubai? I have no children from the marriage.

I am seeking urgent guidance regarding my current visa status in the UAE. I was previously employed by a company that has now shut down, but my visa is still under that company. During my tenure, I held Power of Attorney (POA) for all financial matters. However, after a cheque issued by the company bounced, the owner revoked my POA without my knowledge. The company officially closed last year, and the owner (a lady) has been missing since the case emerged. No one from the company is responding, and I am currently stuck in Dubai due to a travel ban imposed on me related to this case. I need clarification on the following points: How can I cancel my existing visa under this closed company? Will I be able to obtain a new visa under another company despite the travel ban? Are there any legal blocks or restrictions affecting my visa or employment options? What legal steps can I take to resolve this situation? I would appreciate your guidance on the next steps and any possible solutions.

Hello, My ex-wife has already obtained a travel ban for my 7-year-old son, who has been living with me for more than two years without any support from her. What should I do to get the travel ban lifted permanently? Should I file a custody case, and will it help? How can I get full custody of my son, as his mother cannot properly take care of him?

I work in sales and did a transaction worth AED 156k. We supplied goods to a client, but he did not pay us and eloped with the goods and money. Now the company is asking me to pay for the losses. Advise if this is legal.

Hi, I am a landlord and need advice on the following scenario. - The contract with my tenant expired in Sep 2024. Upon requesting the renewal, the tenant mentioned that she is out of the country and will sign the renewal contract and provide the rent checks. In the meantime, she paid the first quarter of rent through a bank transfer. - After 3 months, when the next quarter's payment was due, she deposited the next quarter's rent into my bank but did not sign the contract renewal despite my follow-up with her multiple times. At this time, she had returned to Dubai. - Now the next quarter payment is due, however, the tenant is not responding to WhatsApp or answering calls. She is NOT paying rent or renewing the contract. What action can I take since she is not answering my calls or messages? She does not have a valid contract or Ejari, and her rent is delayed by 1 month. All WhatsApp messages are delivered, but she chooses not to respond.
