How to file a claim for child support from ex-husband?

I have been divorced for two years now. My ex-husband has been hesitating to pay child support in the past two months saying that he has no money.

I would like to raise a claim for this but I would like to know what the consequences will be after the claim has gone through.

What does the UAE family law say? Also, I am worried that he might run out of the country, can I apply for a travel ban on him?

Please advise!

Dear questioner,

You have the right to ask for child support from the court. You most likely will get a verdict ordering your husband to make monthly payments to your child.

If he doesn't pay, the court will order (upon your request) to seize his bank accounts and other assets, in addition to a travel ban.

For more information, please contact us through phone call or Whatsapp.
