Legal assistance in drafting a divorce settlement agreement

1
Q: Dear Team,
I would like to know what might happen in the conciliatory procedure. I filed a divorce against my husband and I was called for an appointment. I assume it is for this procedure. Please advise.
How can I draft a settlement agreement? How much possibly it might cost if I will consult a lawyer about this? Maybe you can refer me an adviser with regards to this concern that can charge me less.
I am just a normal worker seeking justice for my child.
Regards,
G.

Asking for compensating ex-fiancee for physical and psychological harm
1
Q: Hi
I got a legal notice from my ex-fiancee demanding that I pay her X amount of money for canceling the wedding about 3 weeks prior to the event.
She claims that I caused her physical (we had both equally paid some advance amount towards wedding venues) and psychological harm by canceling the wedding. I called it off after warning her several times to correct her explosive and abusive temper and blatant lies.
What is my best course of action here?
Thanks!

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.
