Single mother seeks sole custody of child due to father's neglect and threats
Good Day,
I am a single mother of a 5-year-old living in Dubai. The father and I have never been married, but I would like to file for sole custody and child support on the grounds that:
1. He only sees his child one weekend every two weeks.
2. He constantly drops off his child and refuses to pick him up, even if he hasn't seen him in a while.
3. He has never paid child support.
4. He threatens the mother (me) constantly.
5. He threatens to leave the country.
6. He recently put a tracker in my son's bag without anyone's knowledge to find out where we live and invade our privacy. (A case was filed with the Dubai Police).

Hello,
The custody of a child is granted to the mother in case of unmarried parents in the UAE, further, it will be sure if you could prove that the child is not safe with the father.
