Q: Polygamist father has left home and stayed with his 2nd wife and her kids and mother, after a fight about "why I didn't give salam to the 2nd wife" while I was sitting inside a car and she was outside talking with my brother. I am not on speaking terms with her and she was a reason for countless fights in my family. My father also said he will not pay for food expenses because my sister and I got a job. He stopped paying for my sister's education a year ago so she pays for herself. My two younger siblings are still studying and can't provide for themselves. My sister and I don't earn enough to support a family. I want to know if the police can be involved just for warning my father about the consequences of his action if this issue does not get solved amicably.

Q: Hello, I'm enquiring about a law in the UAE. I'm a British citizen born in Shrewsbury, but my father is from Dubai. Written in the law the firstborn Arab son is entitled to his father's fortune/ land. I've lived in England my whole life as I didn't have a choice when I was younger as certain events took place. If you type this story on google you'll come across a story of me that made international news. This story made headlines as my father tried kidnapping me and taking me back to Dubai. Basically, I want more information and my legal entitlements as I'm now 22 years of age.

Q: Hi, I am a son of UAE national and I have applied for a change in the family book in Ajman Immigration. My dad was not helping me to get UAE citizenship that's why we went to court and we got the decision that I am his son and he has to apply for my passport and provide all the documents. Now Abu Dhabi is asking for the letter from my dad that he has to provide that I am his son. He is not giving it even I have filed for tenfiz. What can I do now? Thanks

Q: Hello, My child has been refused admission to a French school in Dubai, two years in a row, in Pre-KG (first-class) where all nationalities can apply, because he is a Saudi citizen and the school gives priority to French and Emirates citizens. The director clearly says it is based on nationality because this year we were amongst the first ones to apply. The UAE government does not differentiate between UAE citizens and GCC citizens (Saudis) giving them free education in public schools to be non-discriminatory between locals and GCC citizens. KHDA regulating private schools can speak to the school but cannot enforce the admission because it is the school's internal policy. How is it possible to be bluntly discriminated against two years in a row? Can we legally sue the school for being discriminatory and also can an internal policy be contradictory to government laws/constitutional laws etc? Thank you!

UAE Personal Status Law (also known as Personal Affairs Law) governs marriage, divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs in the United Arab Emirates. The law equally applies to citizens of the UAE and non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his home country law.
