Automatic cancellation of the visa for staying 6 months outside the UAE

Dear Sir,

I am working in one contracting company in Dubai and my visa expired last week. I returned back to Dubai last month only after spending 6 months in India.

I have sponsored visas for my wife and kid. They already stayed out of the UAE for 9 months.

Now my employer wants to cancel my visa but I want to know whether my family visa is already cancelled or I will have any problem with the cancellation of my visa.

No way I can arrange the original Emirates ID and passport from them because they are not living with me.

Please advise.
