Filing for custody and adultery after divorce if ex-wife abandoned children for boyfriend




2
Q: Dear lawyers,
I have been divorced mutually in Dubai. The children have been living with me because my ex-wife chose to live with her boyfriend. Due to financial conditions, she chose a new life with a new man, abandoning the kids and her past.
Now, as I legally want custody, she is creating drama, and her current boyfriend is taking advantage. She had a relationship with him before the divorce.
I couldn't file for adultery as I was focused on my career and children. Can I do it now?
All evidence is present. The children are residing in Dubai, and she has completely stopped meeting them as her boyfriend controls her. He is married too and has children he has kept abroad.

How can I reach a settlement with the bank for a mortgage of a jointly owned property? 0
I have a jointly owned property in Abu Dhabi. The mortgage was defaulted on as I had to leave the property with my children following an assault by my ex-husband. He left the country in 2018 and never paid the mortgage.
As I was in the country, the bank filed a criminal case against me, and I was sentenced to 3 years. I won the appeal against the bank and then filed another criminal case a few months later in Dubai. Again, I won and paid a fine.
In 2019, the bank started a civil case against me and my ex-husband to have the property repossessed. However, at the time of the purchase of the property, there were no Title Deeds, the bank requires this.
I cannot give them the Title Deeds to sell the property and pay back the amount owed to them as my ex-husband refuses to provide a POA. The bank has filed another criminal case against me only for our jointly owned property.
I wish to resolve this and pay off the bank and receive any money left from the sale. How can I resolve this issue of the Title Deeds?
