Q: Respected Sir/ Madam, My name is Rehna PG, living in Kuwait with my cousin. My husband divorced me and married another woman 7 months back. He was working in Dubai during 2004- 2008 time, and in 2008 he lost his job and came back to India with me. He got many credit card and loan liabilities and did not settle all those liabilities till now yet. I have two kids. I got a job in Dubai now and need to work there for a living. I wanted to know one thing due to my ex-husband liabilities, am I also blacklisted in Dubai and may face any police case/ court case based on his credit card and loan liabilities? Will I be taken to jail as soon as I enter in the Dubai Airport? I need your valuable advice on this issue. Please help me. I am alone and no one is with me to help me.

Q: Am I liable for my father’s company debts? My name was not included on the list of shareholders. I held no shares. I am not the manager on the license.

Q: To whom this may concern, I returned back to Australia after 10 years in Abu Dhabi in 2015. As I turn 18 this year in November, I plan on visiting friends who are in the UAE for about a month. I would like to travel with them around the country freely without any prosecution from local officials. My father had to leave the UAE in 2016 for health reasons and has unpaid debts in the UAE, Abu Dhabi specifically. I would like to know and have it in writing if I would be able to travel freely to the UAE at the end of the year and that I am not liable for my parents' debts/problems as I have no legal responsibilities for their actions. Kind regards.
