Q: Dear sir/madam, Can my company be forced to pay any money to my divorced wife? She has sent an email asking for an amount to be deducted from my account and sent to her telling me that if I give her money, she will stop sending emails to my HR.

Q: Dear Sir, My wife and I are both residents of the UAE and are both Muslims, married in India under Sharia Law, and registered in the UAE. While my visa is sponsored by my company in Dubai, she is staying with her parents in Abu Dhabi. We are not staying together since Sept 20 as she was not a good wife to me. We don’t have any children. In Jan 2022, she filed a maintenance case against me in Abu Dhabi court. There was a video conf. call with personal status court. Yesterday, I got another message again from the court to attend the video conference call. The next date they gave us was on 17 May 2022. Hence I request you to please advise me why they asked for my salary certificate. Will they ask me to pay monthly maintenance to her? If yes, then how much would it be monthly? Does the maintenance come under Sharia law even though we are not divorced yet? Please note that she has blocked me over WhatsApp, kept on abusing me from time to time since she is with her father and many more bad things from her relatives' side. Thanks.

Q: Hi I have a query regarding a divorce case. We both are Muslims having one daughter, currently with my ex-wife. Marriage and divorce both happened in Pakistan. My ex-wife filed a case in Dubai court demanding child maintenance, Ex-wife alimony, furnished house provision, utility bills payment, school fees and a housemaid. If the father's salary is AED 15k, how much maximum financial exposure would be covering for the mentioned expenses as per your experience? Thank you for your support.

Q: Dear Lawyers, I won a maintenance case against my husband and initiated an execution case. I requested the Honorable Judge to write a letter to my husband's employer, obliging them to seize 25% of my husband's salary. The judge agreed. Q1: Does the seizure include 25% of my husband's allowances, bonuses, and commissions, or only 25% of his basic salary? Q2: The judge issued a letter, and I received a copy by email. Does the court also send the letter directly to my husband's employer, or am I supposed to forward it to them?

Q: Dear Sir/Madam, My last child support execution case was opened in 2019. Can I open a new case since my financial situation has worsened, and my health is deteriorating due to chronic kidney disease?

UAE Personal Status Law (also known as Personal Affairs Law) governs marriage, divorce, inheritance and other personal affairs in the United Arab Emirates. The law equally applies to citizens of the UAE and non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his home country law.

The provisions of this Federal Decree-Law, known as the "New Cybercrimes Law", govern Cybercrimes regulations in the United Arab Emirates. The New Cybercrimes Law repeals the previous UAE Cybercrimes Law (Federal Decree-Law No. (5) of 2012 on Combating Cybercrimes).
