مطالبة أب بحضانة ابنه الذي يبلغ 18 عامًا

كنت أعيش في الإمارات حتى يوم 5 فبراير 2016، والآن أنا في باكستان ويعيش ابني الذي يبلغ 18 عامًا مع أمه في الإمارات.

هل يمكنني المطالبة بحضانة ابني وأنا في بلدي؟

Dear Questioner,

Kindly note that the UAE personal status law, the Federal Law no. 28 of the year 2005 regulates the custody issues and clarifies the terms to arrange such relationship between the mother/father/children from Article 142 to Article 158.

Perhaps it would be a good practice to read it for guidance.

Each family has its own circumstances and each case is different, and that is why we believe the best way to advise you is to understand more about your case before we recommend you a step or say if you can or you cannot do something.

For example, we do not know from your question whether you are still married to the mother or not?

Does the religion of the mother unite with the religion of the son?

Is the mother married to another man or not?

Did she get the custody by rule of law or it was agreed between you two?

All such questions and other questions may affect our advice. So, we would prefer to have more details in order to advise you correctly.

We recommend you to get in contact with us for a one-hour session through phone or video conference to speak about your case, and we will be happy to advise you accordingly.

Best regards,

Ahmed Elnaggar

I am very thankful for your quick reply.

His mother is my ex-wife, and the religion of the mother and son are same. As per my son's request, I let him leave with his mother.

Skype is banned in the UAE. How can we make a video call?

If you can send me your mobile number and suitable time I will try to call you.

Once again many thanks for the reply.

Why do you want to change now your agreement with your son and do something against his wish?
