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.

رفض منح تأشيرة دخول إلى الإمارات لدواعي أمنية 0
السلام عليكم أستاذ محمد.
لقد زرت دبي 3 مرات في 2014 و2016 و2017 بتأشيرة زيارة بدون أي مشاكل.
وعندما قدمت علي تأشيرة زيارة هذا العام، فوجئت بالرفض لأسباب أمنية مع العلم أنه في المرات الثلاث السابقة لم يكن عندي أي مخالفات. وعندما بحثت مع مسؤول العلاقات الحكومية في الشركة، أفادني أن عندي حظر لمدى الحياة.
أرجو الإفادة والحل مع العلم أنه لا يوجد لي أي سوابق أو مشاكل أمنية في مصر أو خارجها.

What you need to know while purchasing a new apartment 0
Hi, I am planning to buy a ready apartment in a 2-year-old building.
How can I check for any dues on that apartment, would NOC suffice that the mortgage or any dues are cleared?
How can I check that the seller does not have court cases against him in relation to property?
How do the Service Charges get decided every year, as I understand that it is decided by Dubai Land Department who has defined the Service Index?
Should I hire a lawyer to look out all legal aspects and help me till I get the property transferred to me? If yes, then what is the average cost for this service?
Regards,
Gufran

Cancellation of an employee from immigration while he's in detention 0
Hi
My employee is in the central jail in a case, and I cancelled his labour contract but not immigration, but in the labour contract cancellation application written a note to cancel the visa from immigration in 30 days.
My employee in the police custody I don't know when the police will release him. Now, what shall I do if I do not cancel his visa because I only cancelled his labour card for the WPS cancelation?
Give me some advice.

Recovering a small debt with a security cheque 0
Dear Sir,
I lent someone money of a small amount, only AED 4000.
Although I trust him and I know he was really in need, he issued blank-dated cheque signed by him and gave it to me as a security to repay me as promised by September last year.
It's been 6 months now, and I am calling this person to repay the money but he is not interested to pay me and not answering my calls and messages.
I know it is a small amount but for me who has a family back in my country, I really need the money for my obligations also. Please advise me what actions I must take to recover my money.
he told me before not to encash the cheque because he already closed the account, but then he is not returning my calls anymore.
How can I recover my money? Can I file a police complaint against him?
