3
Q: Hello,
My Moroccan wife (at the time of the incident, now divorced/ex-wife) was impregnated by an Emirati. I found out about it after I took her to Germany (my home country), thinking it's my child.
The baby girl was born there. I filed for a DNA test, which result was 100% negative, this was then legally confirmed by the German court.
I am currently in Dubai and intend to locate the biological father, with the intention of him acknowledging parentage and taking legal responsibility.
Is there a law firm specialized in such cases? If so, what are the steps that need to be taken?
I am not after revenge or money, I only want to secure the baby girl's rights.
Thanks

It has been very difficult for me having to raise the boy let alone the expenses and now he is about to go to nursery.
He is in the UAE right now under my sponsorship (mother's visa).

Can a single mother claim child support if she is not married to the father?



3
Q: I have a question related to the new rule in the UAE related to a single mother.
The mother declared herself as a single mother and had a judgment from the court as a single mother and the baby is from a boyfriend without marriage.
Can she later on after 4 or 6, file a case against the boyfriend/father of the baby for monthly expenses?
What legal option she can use against the father of the baby even if she has already declared herself as a single mother and has a passport for a baby?

How can we claim our money back if the cheque we received have bounced for insufficient funds? 0
We received a cheque which has now bounced. We have tried for over a month and a half now to get a new cheque from the person, and every day he says the next day.
We need the money now. We have been to the police station, and they said they can not do anything as the reason the cheque bounced is "Insufficient funds."
We have been to Al Barsha - Dubai Courts, and they said there is nothing they can do about it.
We are not sure what we can do. We need the money asap to pay our kids' school fees, let alone all the interest we have lost.

Who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer? 0
Hello
I joined my new company on February 26, 2025. Upon joining the new company, I asked HR if it was free to join the company, and she said yes.
After working with them for 1 month, I experienced a salary delay, and I had to go to the office to ask why there was a delay in my salary.
That is when the HR told me she deducted my whole salary to recover the transfer fee.
Now my question is, who is supposed to pay for the transfer fee, the employee or the employer?

After 11 months of work, how many leave days is an employee entitled to? 0
Hello,
I want to inquire regarding my leave privileges. I am now 11 months in my company. How many leaves am I privileged to?
Based on Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 regulating labour relations and its executive regulations, you are entitled to a paid weekly rest for not less than one day, as specified in the work contract or the work regulation.
The Council of Ministers may increase the weekly rest day stipulated in this article. The Decree-Law and its executive regulations also stipulate that you are entitled to an annual leave with full pay as follows:
- Thirty days for each year of your extended service.
- Two days per month in respect of any employee with more than six months and less than one year of service.
- Leave for parts of the last year of your service in case it is terminated before you use your annual leave balance.
Now my question is: do I have 22 days I can use? Can someone explain to me in detail?
Thank you!

Can't get an NOC from my old employer. How should I proceed with the new visa? 0
Hello,
My former employer put me on abscond, and I applied for amnesty. I obtained an outpass. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, I didn't travel.
Now I got a job, and my new company is trying to process a visa. Even after paying fines and trying to clear my abscond, they still need an NOC from my former employer, which I am not able to obtain.
What can I do?
