Struggling for financial support for child while the father refuses to pay

Hello Mr. Khaled,

I am in urgent need of help.

I was divorced by the UAE courts on December 30, 2022, and my ex-husband has refused to pay alimony for my child and me.

Our son is 2 years and 9 months old and since his birth, my ex has never supported us. Now that it is a court order and I lost my job last month, I am in dire need of this financial support as it is the right of my son.

My ex says he will contest it, but he is just finding ways to avoid paying, as he has never done so before. I am afraid that he might flee the country.

What can I do in this situation?

I am unable to file an execution case as I do not have any finances.

I am looking forward to a hopeful response.

Thank you!

Dear questioner,

You can make a travel ban for him until the alimony is paid and appoint a lawyer to collect urgent temporary alimony until the verdict.

The case can be registered in the court in which the husband or wife resides. Divorce entails damages due to the wife and children if there are children.

Temporary alimony can be requested while the case is in progress.

But hiring a lawyer is expensive, and my ex has taken all of my money, leaving me in financial difficulties.

Try to get a lawyer and ask well about him before you take over the tasks of your problem.
