Filing a case against the ex-husband for child maintenance from abroad

Hello,

My ex-British husband lives in Ras al Khaimah, and he has been a resident there for the past 13 months. He is not consistent with the payments towards our 3-year-old child.

Can I file a child maintenance lawsuit against him there?

I live in the UK and we are separated. He works for the Department of Education and receives around 4000£/monthly wages.

How much would that cost me; hiring a private lawyer?

Dear questioner,

You may be able to file a child maintenance lawsuit against your ex-husband but in order to advise you accurately, I need to ask you a few questions.

Please send me details about your marital status, religion, your source of income, and since when you have been separated from your ex-husband, and have you filed any child maintenance case in the UK till now?

Please share the information via email.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply!

I will have to postpone this lawsuit due to the current financial restrictions I am under at the minute. I really appreciate your interest in helping me with the case though.

Dear Client,

Good day!

It is possible for you to file the case in the Ras al Khaimah for maintenance.

If you have details about your husband... etc., you should provide us with a Divorce Certificate.

And if there's a separation agreement in which the amount he is supposed to pay to his child is clarified, we can explain or we can just file a maintenance case asking for him to support your child.

For further assistance, please feel free to contact us by phone or send an email.

Thank you.
