How to claim the custody of son from his father because of harassment?
I am divorced 4 years back having 2 kids, an elder son (14) and a daughter (9). I stay in India with my daughter. My husband stays in Dubai and has taken custody of my son. I have come to Dubai on a visit to see my son.
In these 4 years after my divorce, my ex-husband has tortured, threatened and beaten my child. My son now wants to come back to me, he is mentally sick. My husband has his passport and is not allowing me to take my son.
What should I do and whom should I get in touch with in the UAE?
I badly want my son, the impact of his father’s harassment is deteriorating my son's life. Please help me. Should I go to the police? Will anyone get me his passport?
Dear Questioner,
We are really sorry to hear about your situation.
You must file a case to get the custody of your son back on the grounds that he has been mistreated and tortured by his father.
We would require a medical report of your son which shows he has been beaten and tortured by his father as evidence for filing the case.
Please contact us on the phone or write to us on our email for detailed discussion and assistance.
Thanks
