Filing a case by a wife for maintenance while having a job

Hi sir,

I need to open a file in Abu Dhabi for a maintenance case against my husband. We are not living together since1.5 years. He is working in Dubai. I am under my father's sponsorship and currently working. I don't have children.

I need to ask if I can get the maintenance amount even though I am working with a labor card.

How much will I claim for the maintenance amount?

After how many days will I receive my maintenance amount?

How much are your fees?

Dear questioner,

You have the right to get maintenance in all cases regardless of whether you have a job or not.

The maintenance amount will be determined based on your husband's salary.

The judge will order a monthly maintenance payment for you, and you may get maintenance for the past 1.5 years.

For more information, please contact us via phone.

Dear questioner,

You should file a case for maintenance in the personal status court.

You are legally entitled to receive maintenance, even though you are working.

You can contact us via phone to discuss this in detail.
