Hello,
If your husband is not financially supporting your child, you can request the court to order child maintenance (nafaqa): monthly expenses like food, housing, and education. Determine custody and visitation rights.
Courts usually favor mothers for custody of younger children, especially if the father is neglectful.

Hello,
According to UAE law, a wife can file a complaint against her husband for neglecting the family or failing to support the children.
She may also file a maintenance claim or a harm-based case if there is evidence of an illicit relationship.
Our center specializes in such cases, and you can contact us via WhatsApp for more details and legal support.
Hello,
To file a successful complaint, you would need to provide evidence of the affair. This could include things like messages, photos, witness testimony, or other concrete proof. Mere suspicion is usually not enough.
You have a clear legal right to claim financial support for your child from your husband. You can file a claim for child support in the Family Court.
The court will assess your husband's financial capacity and your child's needs to determine a fair amount of child support.
They will take into account factors like his income, assets, and the standard of living you maintained during the marriage.
