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.
