Getting the money paid to husband for years and filing a divorce case
I have been married for 8 years and have been supporting my husband financially since our marriage. He has been using my whole salary regularly.
He has been forcefully asking me to continue my work life as well, as I wanted to quit my job due to certain health issues.
He is using my salary for all our expenses and for his business/debt purposes & not sharing any of his income details. Besides, he is not available anytime for me and does not take responsibility for any of my basic and welfare needs.
Though many of our family members advised us to have children, he delays it. He isn't interested in having children as well. He is interested only in getting financial benefits from me. Somehow, his intentions do not seem right for me.
Hence, it would be really great if I could get advice on this, mainly about the huge money that he has taken from me during these years. Will I be able to wholely claim it back legally?
Plus, in addition to the alimony on divorce grounds, will I be entitled to compensation?
Dear client,
Good day!
You are entitled to get & receive all the money that you had paid to your husband. Please keep all receipts of the payment that is done to your husband.
We can file the matrimony case instead of asking for a divorce. We can ask for all the money back to you first, and once you receive your loan back from your husband, then you can proceed with asking for a divorce.
For further assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone or email.
Thank you!
As a husband, he is liable to pay you for your maintenance and you have the legal right for this under UAE laws.
If you have paid anything, you can take it back and he also needs to pay you maintenance expenses according to his status.
Please contact me via phone or email for further detail.
