Q: My ex-husband and I just received the final divorce judgement from the court. I was granted custodianship of my daughter along with both her Jordanian passport and Canadian passport (I am her sponsor).
If I wanted also to enforce a travel ban in the UAE, how much should this cost approximately? Or can I file it myself? Is it just an application request or an actual court procedure?

Removing a travel ban requested by the guardian of a child

7
Q: My question is about my son who has a travel ban for the past four years.
I am a divorced woman and the travel ban is from his father. I want to move back to my home country as I don't have any emotional or physical support here.
My parents are old and would like to move back for good. I have tried discussing this matter with his father but unfortunately, the matter is still unresolved.
I am willing to let go of all financial support in order to go back. Please let me know if this can be resolved in any way.

Canceling my MoU and getting my deposit back due to a low bank valuation and overpriced property 1
Hi,
I wanted to purchase a 2-bedroom apartment in JVC Dubai. I gave a 10% security deposit cheque to the seller. The price mentioned in the MoU is very high compared to other similar apartments in the same building.
The bank’s valuation also came in very low. Since the valuation is much lower, how can I terminate the MoU and get my cheque back? The MoU ends on 1st October 2024.
One of the articles in the MoU states:
In the event that the Buyer fails to make the payments as agreed or fails to complete the transfer on the agreed date due to his own acts or omissions, the Seller has the right to terminate this agreement and retain the deposit, provided that the termination is due to a violation of the agreed terms, unless both parties agree amicably to different dates.
I need help urgently.
