Q: Hello,
I agreed with my wife to divorce by mutual consent. We have a son and a daughter (12 years old and 8 years old). We agreed that custody would go to the mother. My salary is 35,000 AED.
I will pay the agreed-upon deferred dowry and will cover the house rent, education, and medical care for my children.
What other expenses am I obligated to cover, and approximately how much are they?
Is there an alimony of mut'aa (consolatory gift given by the husband to the wife upon divorce) in case of mutual consent divorce? What is its approximate value?
Are there custody expenses for a divorced woman? What is its approximate monthly value?
Child support, what is its approximate monthly value?
(Given that I will cover housing, education, and medical care, with the total housing and education expenses amounting to 10,000 dirhams per month, and they have comprehensive health insurance), how much do I need to add to this?
Do I pay an alimony of Idda (waiting period)? What is its approximate value?
Are there any other monthly expenses or costs?
We want to know the details of the expenses that I will pay so that the divorce can be amicable and satisfactory to both parties.
Thank you very much!

Claiming maintenance for wife and child from husband
2
Q: Both my husband and I are Indian - Keralite Roman Catholic staying in Dubai. I have been a victim of emotional and financial domestic abuse from my husband and my in-laws over dowry. Where do I stand legally in this matter?
A year ago, my husband abandoned me and my child in my parents' place and went to Australia. He does not want to communicate with me despite my efforts of trying to contact him and remains hostile towards me. Where do I stand legally?
Mine and my child’s maintenance has always been provided for by my parents and self-finance (I am working too) because of my husband’s bank loans and job loss in Dubai.
Now he found employment in Australia but he does not want to provide maintenance for me and my child. Additionally, he demands that I pay for his business class tickets if I want him to come to Dubai to keep my UAE visa.
Can I claim for maintenance from my husband without a divorce In this regard?

حساب نفقة المطلقة بدون أولاد في أبوظبي


9
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
أنا وزوجتي الثانية نمر بظروف صعبة وأفكر جديًا في الطلاق؛ علمًا بأنه لا يوجد أبناء منها وتزوجنا منذ سنة.
أنا موظف في إحدى شركات أبوظبي وأتقاضى راتبًا جيدًا جدًا ولكن لدي التزامات كثيره؛ منها ديون للبنك للسيارات وأقساط شراء مسكن وغيره.
زوجتي أيضًا موظفة في إحدى شركات أبوظبي وتتقاضى راتبًا جيدًا. أعلم أن قانون دائرة قضاء أبوظبي ينص على نفقة العدة ونفقة المتعة للمطلقة من غير أبناء ولكن لا توجد طريقة احتساب واضحة وأود معرفة حجم الضرر قبل اتخاذ القرار النهائي.
لتيسير احتساب النفقات، نفترض أن راتبي الإجمالي من غير الخصومات الشهرية هو خمسون ألف درهم. ما طريقة احتساب النفقة في هذه الحالة؟
معلومة إضافية، زوجتي الأولى في عصمتي ولدي ثلاثة أبناء منها.

تخفيض النفقة بسبب ترك العمل واستعادة جوازات الأبناء


2
س: السلام عليكم،
طلقت زوجتي في فترة كورونا وكنت خارج الدولة ورجعت بعد غياب سنتين بسبب الظروف وكانت المحكمة قد حكمت بإبقاء جوازات سفر الأبناء مع الأم ونقل إقاماتهم عليها. رجعت للدولة ودفعت كامل النفقة المقررة للسنوات السابقة.
لدي سؤالين من فضلكم:
1. لا أعمل حاليًا وأبحث عن عمل، فهل أستطيع أن أطلب من القاضي تخفيض النفقة بسبب عدم العمل وأنني أبحث عن عمل؟
2. عند حصولي على عمل وعمل إقامة لي، هل أستطيع رفع قضية للمطالبة بإعادة إقامات الأبناء عليّ أنا الولي الأب وإبقاء جوازات سفرهم عندي بحكم أنني الولي عليهم، ولا مانع لدي من تسليم الأم الجوازات في حالة الطلب؟
هل ممكن أن أرفع قضية بهذا الخصوص للإقامات والجوازات لإعادتهم لي بحكم أنني مقيم في الدولة ولدي دخل ونفقة وأنا ملتزم بها؟
وهل سيوافق القاضي بحكم أن الولي مقيم في الدولة ويجب أن تكون الجوازات والإقامات عليه؟
وشكرًا لكم!

Can the landlord send me an eviction notice for non-payment despite submitting an offer and deposit at RDC? 0
I’ve lived in my building for over 4 years, with the most recent rent being AED 50,000. Each year, the management collects cheques and extra AED 2,400–2,500 cash (no receipt) for management and Ejari fees.
My contract was due for renewal on 15 Feb 2025, but management delayed, demanding a 10% rent increase even though no formal 90-day notice and the RERA index did not allow it.
After a month of excuses, the manager called on 12 March, insisted increase to 55K, and threatened eviction if I refused. When I referenced RDC, he hung up. The next day, he again made unprofessional remarks, so I decided to go with RDC.
I submitted my offer and deposit on 13th March, but the management didn’t respond. The case went to the judge on 14 April he ruled in my favor.
On 30 April, I applied for the execution of the ruling, and RDC says I can renew Ejari only on 8th May at DLD with cheques given to them.
However, on 1st May 2025, I received a notarized eviction notice for non-payment of rent and communication.
My question is, what will happen at DLD now?

Can I resign during the probation period without serving a three-month notice to take another job? 0
I am working in the private sector, and currently I am in the probation period. I got a government job, so I submitted a one-month resignation notice.
My current company rejected my one-month notice and ordered me to serve a three-month notice (as per the contract).
I enquired with One Time Centre, and as per their advice, after one month, I can stop work and register a complaint against my company.
For this matter, how will the UAE law help me to solve it?

Closing a business while the local service agent is not reachable 2
Hi,
We have a professional services license (2 partners) + 1 local service agent registered with DED, Dubai.

Unfortunately, the local service agent is not available. We have been trying to connect to him multiple times but have not been able to reach him.
The due date for the renewal of the company is coming up and we want to proceed with all the paperwork for cancellation prior to that.
Kindly advise us about the options if the local service agent is unavailable.

Rights of the employee in case of resigning during the probation period 1
I was working in a company in Dubai on a family visa. I was not provided with any labour contract during my tenure. I have resigned under probation serving 7 days of notice period as per their contract.
They also deducted my 1 month & 8 days of salary by considering it as training and licensing cost. Now the HR and the manager are not responding to me to clear my incentives and complete my exit process.
I also want to know whether the employee is supposed to bear the cost of licensing (DHA) if he/she resigns under the probation period.

حجز جواز المتخلِّف عن الانضمام للخدمة الوطنية ومنعه من تجديده 1
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته،
سؤال: فيما يتعلق بقانون الخدمة الوطنية وتعديلاته في دولة الإمارات، هل يحق للجهة المختصة أن تحجز جواز الشخص المتخلف عن الانضمام للخدمة الوطنية، وتمنعه من تجديد جواز السفر وتجديد الهوية الإماراتية إذا انتهت صلاحيتها، حتى لو كان التجديد عن طريق التطبيقات الذكية؟
وما المادة القانونية التي تفيد بأن يحق للجهة المختصة أن تمنع الشخص الذي لم ينضم للخدمة الوطنية أن يجدد الوثائق والمستندات الثبوتية؟ وبذلك لا يستطيع أن يتعالج طبيًا؟
يُرجى التكرُّم بإفادتنا قانونيًا!
