Filing a case for child custody and maintenance
Dear Sir,
My husband and I are separated. I have a 7-month-old baby to whom he provided no support whatsoever, however, he is holding all her IDs with the intention of harming me.
Would it be possible to open a case and ask to be the guardian and custodian of the baby, so that all the rights will be with me and the so-called father will have no responsibilities nor rights over the child?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Fatma
Dear Fatma,
I would like to inform you that the federal family law in the UAE seriously keeps and saves all your legal rights together with your child.
Through your case, you can ask the judge to force your husband to give you all the IDs and documents related to the child by law.
If you have any further question, do not be hesitate to contact me on my email "ms@elnaggarlegal.com"
Thank you.
You can open a case for the maintenance and custody of the child.
The court shall award the maintenance for you and the child, depending upon the merits of the case. The guardianship shall go as per the law.
Feel free to reach me at 0527520742 for advising you better over the matter.
