Q: I am looking for a good family lawyer for divorce at a very affordable price (price for all procedures from start to execution). I would only pay a max of 10k for the case from start to execution. I had a very bad experience with Dubai lawyers. They overpromise and don't give results. They only care about money. Once they take money, they don't even answer my calls. Please only affordable lawyers answer (I need a written contract with a lawyer that he accepts the terms and provide me with good results and answer my queries throughout the case).

Q: My ex-wife had opened an execution file against me last year for non-payment of outstanding dues. I am now in the process of paying off the total outstanding balance. I would like to know: 1- Once the balance is cleared, is the execution file closed forever or can be re-opened? (assuming nothing in the divorce judgment is violated). 2- Can she reopen the execution file at a later stage to financially harass me; disputing something in the execution file not being calculated correctly? 3) Can the execution judge force a settlement if she is not being cooperative? 4) What are my options if she refuses to give me her passport for canceling her visa and force me to sponsor her? 5) She is unemployed and custodian of our daughter, I am financially supporting our child. If she decides to leave Dubai claiming that she will move abroad to her family for a better future of the kid (5 years old), is it possible even if I do not agree (as I won't be able to bond with her)? Thanks!

Q: My wife put a divorce case and lost, then appealed, and lost again. The Court ordered her to go home for kids. She left the country without informing me after that leaving her kids. Now she applied for khula from outside the country. My case finished on 6 April 2023. She already didn't obey the court and ran out of the country. Now she applied for Khula also. Should I apply for the execution of the previous order or desertion case?

Q: Dear Lawyers, In a Personal Status appeal case, do I need to upload the WhatsApp messages or evidence of abuse from my ex-husband again into the court system, even though I had already uploaded them in the previous case? Or should I only upload the receipts and invoices that show the expenses for which I disagreed with the amount or the judge's final decision?
