Questions & Answers
Can the wife file for maintenance in the UAE after judgement in home country?
My wife and I are non-Muslims. Divorce was settled in our home country court which decided that I am the custodian of the children and no alimony has to be paid to her.
Children are living with me here in the UAE. However, she still resides here in the UAE using a tourist visa. She is planning to file a Maintenance Case against me in the UAE Family Court.
Can she do that?
Am I obliged to pay her alimony?
Do you have an agreement written between you both?

Thank you.
If things are already decided by another court's judgment, then you should submit that court order (after attesting documents) to the Dubai court, and accordingly, the court will decide the matter.
