How to get a divorce and split a joint property after I caught my husband cheating on me?

My husband and I are Romanian. We got married in Seychelles and live in Dubai. We own an apartment we bought one year ago.

I caught my husband using prostitutes. I have proof of it as entry logs to my apartment when I was at work, many girls have visited.

I want a divorce. Can my husband claim the apartment as it's jointly in our name?

Can he get into trouble for using prostitutes in Dubai?

Using prostitutes from your husband is an acceptable reason for divorce.

Regarding the apartment please send a copy of the title deed for my examination and to see how is your share with him?

Hello,

If there is proof, you can file for divorce. Divorce procedures depend upon religion, whether you are Muslim or Non-Muslim.

As it is jointly held by both of you, you can claim the maintenance for living separately equal to the present living standard and will claim the amount, when the apartment is sold.

Also, we need to see whether the investment is equal in the apartment.

Hello,

You can get a divorce, and he can get involved in the case of prostitutes.

But he can claim his share of the apartment because it is shared between you.

No, he can't claim the ownership of the property even after the divorce.

He will be in trouble only if you proved the incident with videos or a witness of two men or four women before the judge.

Then he might face imprisonment for two years.
