Questions & Answers
Is it possible for the father to claim the custody of son who wants that?
Hello,
I am an Indian living in Abu Dhabi since 2007 and my wife who is now on her company's employment visa moved out to a separate house beginning of 2021 along with my 6-year-old child (who's also on her sponsorship visa).
Now she's not letting me meet with my son whereas my son has clearly expressed that he wants to stay with me permanently and doesn't want to stay with my wife.
What are my legal rights in terms of:
a) Visitation rights
b) Custody of my child
Best regards
You are the legal guardian of the kid, you should approach the court and file an application for the visit and meet your kid. You will be (most probably) permitted for visiting.
You may contact me directly on the phone or by email for further consultation.
Dear Client,
Good day!
You can file the case for custody of the child in Dubai or at least visitation rights in Abu Dhabi Court.
If you want to file a divorce, you can file or you can only ask for custody of the child. The child is yours and there's a possibility that the judge might award and you can have visitation rights.
I'm sorry to ask but we need to review the religions because if it is a Muslim, that will go as per Sharia. If it is Hindu, you can file as per the Hindu Marriage Act. And if it is Christian, it should be as per the Christian Marriage Act in India.
According to the new law, these foreign divorces are recognized as the foreign law can now be enforced in personal matters.
For further assistance, please feel free to contact us on our phone or send an email to us.
Thank you.
