How can I modify the custody agreement and enforce my parental rights?
Q: As-Salaam-Alaikum everyone, Please advise me on where I can find an affordable family lawyer. I`m only earning less than 5k AED monthly. I really want to apply for modification of the agreement for my 3-year-old daughter, but my ex-wife is not responding or cooperating, assuming she wants to retain the current agreement for 3 hours per week. I want to enforce my role as a guardian of my child and modify the agreement for more time and to be more included in the decision-making for her well-being.

Do I have to pay a penalty if terminated after completing my contract period?
Q: Sir, As per my contract period, they mentioned that if I leave the company before 1 year, I have to pay 5000 dirhams. But I have already completed more than 1 year and 3 months. The company has given me a warning letter saying my work performance is low, and if I continue like this, they will terminate me. They didn`t mention any charges, but they mentioned in the letter a top penalty procedure. So I need to know whether I have to pay them any charges or not.May 9, 2025
