Legal assistance in drafting a divorce settlement agreement

1
Q: Dear Team,
I would like to know what might happen in the conciliatory procedure. I filed a divorce against my husband and I was called for an appointment. I assume it is for this procedure. Please advise.
How can I draft a settlement agreement? How much possibly it might cost if I will consult a lawyer about this? Maybe you can refer me an adviser with regards to this concern that can charge me less.
I am just a normal worker seeking justice for my child.
Regards,
G.

رفع دعوى طلاق في الإمارات أثناء إقامة الزوج في كندا


1
س: السلام عليكم،
ابنتي تزوجت في دبي سنة ٢٠١٠ ثم انتقلت للعيش في كندا مع زوجها بعد سنة من الزواج. زوجها لم يعمل طيلة ١١ سنة سوى ٤ أشهر. حصلت على شغل وإقامة في دبي خلال إجازة الكريسمس وكان الأولاد معها وهم توأم عمرهما ٨ سنوات و١٠ أشهر. سجلتهم في المدرسة في دبي.
الآن زوجها يدعي أنها خطفت الأولاد مع أنه يعلم بسفرها وهو بنفسه أوصلها للمطار لكن هي نفسها لم تكن تعلم أنها ستحصل على عمل مجزي في دبي إلا بعد عدة مقابلات. بعدها أقام زوجها دعوى اختطاف الأطفال.
ابنتي تريد الطلاق وحضانة الأولاد لأنها غير مرتاحة معه. السؤال:
هل يجب عليها تسليم الأطفال تنفيذًا لقرار المحكمة الغيابي في كندا؟ حيث أن المحكمة لا ترغب في سماع محامي الدفاع عن ابنتي قبل تسليم الأطفال لأبوهم.
علمًا بأن ابنتي وزوجها مسلمين يحملان الجنسية الكندية.
أفيدوني.
شكرًا جزيلاً!

Does the Abu Dhabi Family Court have jurisdiction over my U.S. assets in the divorce?




1
Q: Hello,
Both my (now) ex-wife and I are Americans and non-Muslims living in Abu Dhabi. We are going through a divorce in the Abu Dhabi Family Court. My ex-wife is suing me for a (very large) financial support package, and I am being asked to disclose my personal financial information.
Two questions:
1. Do the courts have any jurisdiction over the USD assets I hold in the USA?
2. Am I required to reveal any information about my company, which is an independent legal entity based in the USA?
Thank you!

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?

Thank you.

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?
