Son's rights in child support
0
Q: I have a 3-year-old son who is currently being diagnosed with a disease that requires immediate medical attention and enough funding to avoid complication in his heart. Prior to this situation, I have asked his father months ago of his paternal obligation and financial support to our son but he has intentionally ignored us up to this date because he has a new family but they know of my sons' existence.
I am very much desperate considering that time is very important and I don't have enough money to support the medical needs of my son. How can I oblige the father who is currently working in a big company in Dubai and does nothing on this matter?

Q: Asalamu Alaikum
I am an Indian women married in the UAE to an Indian man. He sent me to India for my delivery and didn't give me any money for delivery.
It's been more than 5 months and still, he is not ready to apply for a visa for me and my kid. Whenever me or my dad ask, he says he is busy with work.
He is neither calling us from the UAE nor giving us any money.
Can I put abandonment case on him? What is the procedure for it? Can I file the case from India?

Abandoning wife and child in home country without maintenance


1
Q: Dear lawyer,
I want to ask about my husband who brought me to Pakistan along with my 4-year-old son on vacation and forcefully took my son's passport from me and left me all alone with the child without any expenditure.
I am on job visa and my son is under father sponsorship. Now I cannot travel back with my child because my inlaws are holding the passport for my son and blackmailing me that they will forcefully take my child.
I want to come back to the UAE as I have to report to my employer but I need my son's passport. My husband blocked my number and closed communication when he went back.

How to file a family case against husband in Dubai from outside
11
Q: My husband fled to Dubai after he stopped contact with me for over a year.
I had filed a maintenance and domestic violence case against him here in India after he physically abused me and later refused to keep me with him. He then sent me back to my parents' place which has been over 1.5 years.
We tried to talk and come to a solution for his behaviour but he fled to Dubai and we have no knowledge of his whereabouts, phone number or anything except for his passport copy.
My in-laws are also not ready to provide any information unless we agree to pay a certain amount for the information.
Is there any way that I can file a case against him in Dubai from India?
Or something that he is deported here in India so that I can take legal action against him?

Applying for a passport for a baby without the presence of the father
1
Q: Hi,
I am from the Philippines and stay in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I have delivered my 2-month-old baby girl. My husband is an Egyptian. He abandoned me and my daughter.
He went to Egypt for vacation, but I noticed that he deleted all copies of his passport, visa, and Emirates ID from my phone.
I want to apply for a passport for my baby but I don't have a copy of his documents. When I tried to send him a message, he closed the mobile. I found that he has another mobile and I saw it is online so I send messages but he blocked me.
Now my questions are:
- Can I apply for a passport for my baby without the presence of the father?
- Can I file a case against him for abandonment?
- I don't want him to come back here to the UAE. What will I do?
Thank you for the answer!

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
