كيفية ضمان عدم مطالبة الأم بحضانة أبنائها بعد التنازل عنها

2
س: السلام عليكم،
طليقتي حاضنة لأطفالي (أعمارهما ١٠ و٨ سنوات). أدفع نفقة شهرية وإيجار مسكن. اتفقت معها على نقل حضانة الأطفال لي بعد انتهاء العام الدراسي. حسب ما فهمت، لا توجد وثيقة قانونية/شرعية لتنازل الأم عن حضانة أطفالها.
هل يكون الاتفاق معها وديًا بدون أي وثائق تضمن حقوقي؟
في حال اتفقنا وديًا وانتقلت الحضانة لي:
- كيف أوثق قانونيًا أن الحضانة انتقلت لي وأن أضمن حقي بأنها لن تطالبني بالنفقة ولا بالمسكن عند انتقال الأولاد إلى حضانتي؟
- كيف أضمن حقي بأنها لن تأخذ الأولاد ثانية إلى حضانتها في حال غيرت رأيها في المستقبل؟
ولكم جزيل الشكر!

نظرة على التعديلات الأخيرة على قانون الأحوال الشخصية الإماراتي 7
الأسرة هي عماد المجتمع، ويدور صلاحه مع صلاحها وجوداً وعدماً، فأن فسدت الاسرة فسد المجتمع؛ ولذلك اعتنت الشريعة الإسلامية بتنظيم العلاقات الاسرية أيما عناية. فالزوج والزوجة هما الأصول التي يتفرع منها الأبناء، فإن لم تستقِم العلاقة بينهما انعكس ذلك على بقية أفراد الاسرة من الأبناء وبالتالي فسد مجتمع الأسرة. وفي دولة الامارات العربية المتحدة يولي المشرع اهتماماً بشؤون الأسرة من خلال قانون الأحوال الشخصية الإماراتي وتقنينه من وقت لآخر بإجراء عدد من التعديلات عليه لكي يتماشى مع أوضاع الأسرة المختلفة.

The public prosecution appealed a judgment to increase the fine I already paid. What do I do now? 0
Good afternoon,
Thank you for your time.
The public prosecution appealed my judgment (a fine that I satisfactorily cleared) and requested increasing the fine.
Can you please explain what happens during a criminal case appeal hearing for me as a defendant?
Will I be asked questions?
Is the hearing just for the Public Prosecution to present their appeal to the judge, and I do not need to give a response?
Thank you again for your time.

I purchased an apartment, but the previous landlord refuses to vacate. What to do? 0
Hello,
I bought an apartment, but the previous landlord is refusing to vacate it. The contract clearly states that the landlord should hand over the apartment on the day of the transfer.
Out of courtesy, I gave him three days to vacate so he could find a new place to stay, but the time has passed, and he is still refusing to vacate and hand it over.
What should I do in this case?
