Can I file a maintenance case against my husband and enforce in the country where he lives?

My husband has stopped paying the rent of my home and stopped paying the fees for my daughter's education. I started a marital amicable reconciliation lawsuit which is under consideration.

I also registered a Petition on Order, and the court ordered that my husband should provide a home for me immediately. The court tried to phone my husband but he did not pick up the phone since he is working in Saudi Arabia.

Question A) How do I enforce the order that I received? Should I go to the police station? How do I get money from the UAE assets and accounts of my husband?

Question B) Are orders and verdicts of Dubai Courts executable in Saudi Arabia? What is the procedure to start the execution of Dubai Court orders and verdicts in Saudi Arabia?

Since I now have no home and very little money, please help me.

A) In order to enforce the court order, you can file a complaint with the Dubai Police or the Public Prosecution. They will then take necessary actions to enforce the order and collect the money from your husband's assets and accounts in the UAE. You can also seek the help of a lawyer to assist you with the process.

B) The orders and verdicts of Dubai Courts are not directly executable in Saudi Arabia. However, you can file a request for recognition and enforcement of the Dubai Court order in Saudi Arabia. This process involves submitting the necessary documents and evidence to the Saudi Arabian courts, which will then review the case and decide whether to enforce the order or not. It is advisable to seek the assistance of a lawyer in Saudi Arabia to guide you through this process.

Dear inquirer,

You should file for the execution of that order at the Dubai court. The court will then take steps to enforce the order. either they will freeze his bank account or issue a travel ban.

The execution of the UAE court order in Saudi Arabia requires a process called recognition and enforcement. This involves submitting the Dubai court order to a Saudi court and requesting its enforcement.

Thank you for reaching out to me and sharing your concerns. I understand how difficult and stressful this situation must be for you.

A) Enforcing the Order in the UAE

To enforce the court order that requires your husband to provide a home for you, you will need to initiate an execution case with the Dubai Courts. This process involves submitting the court order to the Execution Department, which will take the necessary steps to enforce the order, including seizing assets or freezing accounts if needed. Going to the police station is not typically required for this type of enforcement, as it is a civil matter handled by the courts.

Regarding your husband’s UAE assets and accounts, the Execution Department can help you recover the money owed by seizing his assets within the UAE once the execution case is filed. If he has any bank accounts or properties in the UAE, these can be targeted to satisfy the court’s order.

B) Executing Dubai Court Orders in Saudi Arabia

Dubai Court orders and verdicts are not automatically enforceable in Saudi Arabia. However, you can file for the recognition and enforcement of the Dubai Court order in Saudi Arabia through the appropriate legal channels. This involves filing a case in the Saudi courts, and it is generally advisable to work with a legal expert familiar with Saudi laws to navigate this process effectively.

Given the complexities involved and the urgency of your situation, I recommend that we discuss this further so I can guide you on the best steps forward.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly via WhatsApp or phone. I am here to help and can offer a consultation to discuss how we can enforce your rights and secure the support you need.

Best regards,
