Q: Good morning. Someone stole information from my phone and is now using it to terrorize my contacts. He saved all contacts, photos and videos, some of which including other people. He keeps texting and threatening to post them on social media. How do I handle this situation without incriminating the people in the photos/videos?

Q: Hello lawyer! I need an expert advice from you. I was married 3 years back and my husband and inlaws cheated me on his medical condition (i.e. he had both kidneys removed and transplanted his mother kidney). A year after my marriage, I was pressured and tortured for not having a baby. I was very worried, and hence, got all my tests done and alhamdulillah everything was normal. The doctor also checked my husband and as a result, his reports were negative and the reason for that was associated with his transplant and medicines. He and his family behaviour is getting worse day by day, and hence, I am planning to get a divorce from him and wanted to know my legal rights and process to go further. I am living with my parents since 9 months and my husband hasn't supported me in any way. Now, he has started defaming me on social media also. I would be very thankful if you can help me in this regard.

Q: My husband is divorcing and said that he will not pay me any maintenance because I hired somebody to hack his phone because I suspect adultery.

Q: Dear Sirs, I encourage myself to find someone who may help me to resolve my situation. I fell in love with a lady in the UAE. Initially, it was fine but it was my mistake not to see what ll happen later. Currently, if I do not satisfy her request, she is insulting me and blackmailing me every single day.

Q: What is the best way to recover money from a cryptocurrency exchange scam? The platform I'm using to trade cryptocurrency is based in Singapore but operated by Chinese people. I have invested 150k AED into it, coming all from my credit cards. When I wanted to withdraw money, the customer service said that I need to pay taxes on the profit amount. After paying taxes to them, they are now saying the financial intelligence department found that my account is abnormal and suspected of money laundering due to recent frequent trades and excessive txn volume. They want me to deposit 20% of my account amt (10k USD) within a week to prove that I didn't launder money, or it will be frozen and will report me to the FI dept. Can you please advise if this is legal according to the laws and regulations of Singapore? I don't have money anymore to pay them and I think it's just a scam. The platform recently had the system upgraded and changed; no license, no t&cs, no physical address, no phone number. Shall I report to the police now?
