How to obtain the bank records of the ex-husband?
Hello,
I am from the USA and currently have a family law case here against my ex-husband to obtain the money that he rightfully owes me. My ex-husband used to live in Sharjah, UAE, but he now lives in the USA since 2020.
He had a bank account in Sharjah Islamic Bank, but now he claims that he does not have access to that account and does not have money in that account. I need to obtain his bank records from Sharjah Islamic Bank to prove otherwise.
Can I issue a subpoena to Sharjah Islamic Bank for them to produce his bank records?
How can I register a foreign subpoena in the UAE?
Your help and advice are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Dear questioner,
Since there is a case filed in the UAE court against your ex-husband, when the case is over in your favor, and an execution file is opened, you can take all the executive measures against him, including addressing the banks operating in the UAE to transfer any amounts in your favor.
Good morning,
Further to your query, if the divorce has been finalized in the USA, if there is any maintenance order from the USA court, it should again be filed in the UAE based on the USA court order.
Based on the UAE court order, the court will order the bank to produce the bank statement.
For more details, kindly contact me via phone or email.
