Q: I got divorced from my husband in July 2012. At the time he was in jail for financial problems so I didn’t file an execution case on him then. I got a job and started supporting our only son.
Now I filed for execution case (9 years later). Back then, the judge had awarded AED 800 per month for our son. He is now 13 years old and obviously, AED 800 is certainly not enough!
Can I file a case to increase the amount? Would I need a lawyer for that?

Q: Alimony Money after Divorce
Hi,
I am going through a divorce with my first wife. The court has advised up to discuss the alimony money.
She continues to increase her demand and is demanding much more than she originally requested to the court as she filed for the divorce.
I would like to understand how much will be the alimony money if the court makes the decision, and how much should be the kids' expenses.
Info:
My current salary is 23K.
I have 4 children with my first wife from whom I am getting a divorce.
I have one kid with my second wife.
I have my mother under my sponsorship as my father passed away recently.
I have a bank loan where I need to pay AED 9,000 every month.
My first wife is demanding approximately AED 11,000 (as expenses) plus accommodation, school fees and custody charges, which comes around 20K every month.
In this situation, I am left wit 3Kh only to pay loans, my living, support the second wife, kid and mother.
Thanks!

Can I be convicted of driving under the influence even if the alcohol test came back negative? 0
Hello,
I was driving my car when the police stopped me at one point on the road and told me that I was driving under the influence of alcohol.
I tried hard to deny that because I had not actually consumed any alcoholic beverages that day or in the previous three days.
However, a report was filed and a case was opened, but the alcohol test report came back negative. Will I be convicted despite that?
Please answer me. It is urgent.

Can we legally claim unpaid dues for food supplies based on emails and invoices? 0
Hello,
We have an agreement with a company to supply food for their buffet on a daily basis, with invoices to be issued monthly and payment to be made every three months.
The relationship actually lasted for nine months, and payment was made for two periods. In the third period, due to disagreements between our company and the company to which the supply was made, they refused to pay, noting that the outstanding amount so far is fifty-four thousand dirhams.
Can we claim the amount, noting that the agreement is not written, but there are emails exchanged between us and invoices?
