Q: My query is about mutual consent for divorce, I would like to know more info about this.
My husband and I have been separated for 7 years now since 2013. We tried to reconcile but it was not successful.
We both are here in the UAE until now and have different lives already, we have 1 daughter in the Philippines under his mom's care.
Support comes from both of us. We talk once in a blue moon if it concerns deeply our daughter. No idea where he lives now in the UAE.
I communicate with my daughter through my mother in law. We do not have a joint savings account or property in the Philippines.
A long time has been wasted. I would like to file for Mutual Consent for Divorce so my name will no longer be associated with his and we both can move on legally.
Please also advise roughly on the cost of the consent for divorce.

Q: Good morning everyone,
I am an Indian Muslim married to a Muslim under the UAE Sharia law, with no children.
I've written divorce (talaq) to my wife, also verbally with 2 witnesses. I made a marital case and received a "no-objection letter" for:
قسم التوجيه والإصلاح الأسري في محاكم دبي بأنه نظر النزاع في الملف المذكور أعلاه، وقد تعذر الصلح بينهما في المسائل التالية:
١ - تثبيت الطلاق
What do I do next to complete the talaq and complete the settlement?

What is the way to find details on a old case in Dubai?
1
Q: This haunts me, for 24 years.
In 1998, I was living in Dubai with my husband & daughter. Our neighbors had a son, age 14.
One evening he saw me out shopping, stopped to politely chat, and walked back toward my home with me since he lived nearby.
For some reason the kid began speaking vulgar, I walked ahead to get away, then he began chasing me, causing me to be frightened due to his language.
Running away scared, I became lost as he chased me for miles. I ran into a building, asked to call my husband as I was lost & scared. The boy ran in, I stated he was chasing me, they called the police, he was arrested.
There was a huge language barrier. My husband said he was arrested for assault, sent back to India to face the charge. But he didn't assault me.
For years I've tried finding the report, etc., to explain as I don't want a kid to have been in trouble for assault. False charges could've harmed the family.
How to find the report?

View allHow to liquidate a free zone company after the death of one partner 0
I am a company owner In Shams free zone of 50 per cent share and have a partner visa. My partner was a Russian who went to Russia and died.
When I went to the free zone to cancel my visa and close the company, they have asked me to get his attested death certificate and NOC from his heirs.
The problem I am facing is his family doesn’t want to give the death certificate nor they want to give NOC. Now my resident visa validity is over and I am on fine every day.
Neither the free zone is cooperating nor the partner's family. What is the other way I can cancel my visa and close the company?
Can someone guide me, please?

How the objection of a client be dealt with after being notified for termination by DLD? 0
I have been notified by DLD that I am in breach of an off-plan sales agreement, and the developer wishes to terminate the agreement.
The date on the notice is March 9, 2021, and I received it from the developer on March 11, 2021. The notice says I have 30 days "from the date of being notified" to make the outstanding payment.
On the termination notice from DLD, a list of objections is present. One of the objections states that the developer must hand over the final SPA to me.
In this case, I have not received the final SPA from the developer. I made an objection in writing to the DLD pointing this fact out and sent it via email, and received a confirmation of the same from DLD by return e-mail on April 6, 2021.
30 days from March 9th is April 8th, or from March 11th is April 10th. Does the developer have to respond to my objection before the DLD will allow them to terminate the agreement?
In this case, will the time I have to make the payment be extended by any period?

Closing a business while the local service agent is not reachable 0
Hi,
We have a professional services license (2 partners) + 1 local service agent registered with DED, Dubai.
The partners wish to close the business because of unavoidable circumstances. We wish to proceed with all the necessary paperwork for cancellation.
Unfortunately, the local service agent is not available. We have been trying to connect to him multiple times but have not been able to reach him.
The due date for the renewal of the company is coming up and we want to proceed with all the paperwork for cancellation prior to that.
Kindly advise us about the options if the local service agent is unavailable.

Returning to the UAE to run business after being convicted with a crime 0
Hi,
I want some information regarding my uncle. He was arrested in November 2015 and was in prison until 13 June 2016 when he was deported to Pakistan.
The reason for the arrest was that my uncle had his own business in Sharjah and he was involved in a case where his employee accused him of attacking him and other allegations. He was arrested and convicted.
He needs to reenter the country as he has his business in Sharjah but I believe he is blacklisted/banned. How can I find out if he is blacklisted/banned and how can it be removed to allow my uncle to reenter the country and take over his business?
Is there any way of helping to resolve this issue?
I know that if he enters on a visa, he could be arrested at the airport, and don’t want that to happen.
Thank you!
