Q: I was told in Sharia Court that I can file a case if my husband does not provide financial support for my kids' food, groceries, clothes and allowance for me.
His reason is that I have my own work then I have to share the expenses. He does not live with us and has another wife in Dubai.
What is the process and are there any legal complications against me if I choose to file a case against him?
I do not want this issue to become messy and involve my children.

Is it possible to file a case of maintenance without a divorce?

Q: Assalam Alaikum,
I am French and have 4 children, and I am 3 months pregnant.
I reside in the UAE and my husband clearly stated that he is leaving for Turkey because life is less expensive than the UAE and that I will have to pay all the bills here by myself and take care of the kids as I am working here.
What can I do? What about when the baby will be born?
All my children are under my residency (iqama) Alhamdulillah but will I be able to add my baby under my iqama knowing that the father abandoned us and we are not legally divorced?
Jazakum Allahu Khairan for your answer.

Q: My husband wants to move to Abu Dhabi and he doesn't want to provide for me a roof or to be committed in any way to me and asks me to manage myself! What can I do?
And he says "if you want, I can divorce you but I don't pay you anything."
I don't have kids and we've been married for 3 years. During these 3 years, he didn't pay except the roof and I paid all bills and we share grocery and any other expenses.

Can he force me to move out of our current house? And can he force me to stay in a shared apartment?
He says he cannot afford it but his salary is decent and I know he can still afford the house.

View allDisputing tenant's refusal to accept old landlord's rent increase notice 0
Hi,
We recently bought a villa in Dubai. We are looking for an advocate for legal advice.
Even though the old owner gave the tenant a 90-day notice about the new rent, the tenant is not agreeing to the notice because it didn't come from us.
Since the renewal is in October and we bought the property in September, we don't have 90 days to notify the tenant of the new rent.
The tenant agreed to the new rent in an email with the old owner 90 days ago. Can we dispute this?

We had an accident. Can I claim the treatment costs paid to hospital from the insurance? 0
My family and I had an accident. The incident occurred the very next day of their arrival in the UAE on a residence entry permit and their visa//health insurance was still in process.
With gods grace, everyone was discharged from the hospital on the 3rd day after many tests and keeping us under observation. We were slapped with a hefty bill as my family was not holding any health insurance.
What are the chances that I could claim the medical expenses through the vehicle insurance, as it covers co-passengers as well?

What can I do if a company hired me then changed their mind? 0
I am working in a company and their management is the worst. They made an interview in India and called me.
After calling me here, they again made interviews and made me work for 1 month. And now, they're telling me I am not capable of work and they are mentally torturing me.
I have given them 1.5 lack in office in India and here they are not paying me any salary. I am going into depression as I am not getting any solutions.
The only solution coming to my mind is a suicide, I don’t have any other options left. I have taken money in interest and people are daily coming to my house for money.
Please guide me in a proper way on what I can do.
