Filing a divorce case due to extramarital relationship
0
Q: I am an Indian married woman staying with my husband and son in Abu Dhabi for the last 10 years. My son and I are on husband's visa.
Last year in September, I discovered that my husband has been cheating on me, at least, since the past 2 years or more. I have evidence from his phone.
He has accepted his wrongdoings and admitted everything in front of my father and me and has promised to change. However, I've completely lost trust in him.
There were times when I suspected his actions and asked him directly but he refused and always said that I should try finding proofs.
He also called my sister once to tell her that I was nagging and doubting him. Probably he was playing safe. But since his actions have surfaced up, he projects that he has changed for good.
I do not believe him a bit.This has affected and traumatized me to a great extent that I had to seek medical advice from a psychiatrist and it has affected my son too.
How can I file a divorce in the UAE?

Luring for adultery and the proper legal action
2
Q: Hi there,
I’ve tried getting some help from you, however, I’m yet to hear back.
I’m seeking advice on the topic of adultery where my husband and I are from the UK and the lady is resident in Dubai. She is Canadian, but working for the Emirates Airlines.
My husband broke the relationship with her, but the lady keeps continuously contacting my husband asking him to leave me and our two small sons (5 years and 4 months).
She often gets under the influence of alcohol and on those occasions, she is even more aggressive with her approach. As the girl works for the airline, she has frequent trips to London.
I would like to see if there’s anything I can do to stop her trying to break our family. We do not want to get divorced, we are trying to strengthen our bond.
I understand that my husband was also at fault, however, he’s been trying to make amends for his mistake and find a way away from this girl but she would not stop contacting us.
Thank you for your help!
Best,
Agnes Gorgyan

My Dubai tenant's rental agreement is ending by the end of September 2024 and the completion of 12 months of legally served Eviction Notice is the end of December 2024.
I have two questions:
(a) Can I send a rent increase notice 3 months before as the rent has increased as per the RERA rent calculator?
(b) The second question is, do I have to renew the rental agreement for 3 months (until December 2024) or not?
Thank you.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?

Can a real estate agency hold a percentage of a property sale until transfer is done? 0
A real estate agency has signed an MOU stating that a 10% security deposit from the buyer and the seller will be kept in the real estate agency and will be released upon transferring the property.
The transfer of the property was blocked due to the court order.
According to my colleagues, the real estate agency is not a trustee and they are not allowed to have taken my security check in the first place, is this correct?
