Can I stay in my husband's rented home during our pending divorce appeal?
Q: Hello, My husband and I (both Hindu) are undergoing a divorce in Dubai. The execution is pending as I have filed an appeal. The divorce was filed by my husband. When he filed for divorce, he made me and my kids (twin boys) move to a different accommodation. He lives separately. After the court orders on divorce and maintenance in December 2024, he stopped paying rent for the accommodation. The execution is yet to be issued, and he has not started providing any money for maintenance. Do I have to leave this accommodation if the agreement is in his name? If I don’t have the money to arrange for alternative accommodation until the execution is finalized, how should I manage? Please guide!

Could resignation due to an employer’s behavior be considered constructive dismissal?
Q: Hello, If your employer’s behavior is causing you to resign, could this be considered constructive dismissal? My employer has been illegally deducting from my commission check. When I confronted him, he wrote down various overhead costs to run the practice, costs that, as an employee, I am not responsible for, along with profit-sharing deductions that were never agreed upon in my job offer or contract. He told me that if I couldn’t accept these terms, I would need to find another clinic to work at. He then created a new contract including all these deductions, which I refused to sign. His manager later tried to force me to sign it, but I did not. I felt very threatened and bullied, so I filed a labor complaint, which was transferred to court. However, I currently lack the funds to proceed due to their actions. If I file another labor complaint later and they ask why I no longer work there, can I use constructive dismissal as the reason?+1

The landlord got a municipality order against me to pay pending rent and vacate. What to do?
Q: The rent is 3300 and he said the cheque return is 1050, and the open case file is 1000 while the closed case file is 2100. I told him to allow me to split the payment; first I would pay the rent and pay the legal fees with one cheque, but he said no that I needed to pay the full amount at once. So I told him I don’t have that amount now that is my fate. He told me to wait for the next hearing and that I would receive another notification from the municipality office after a month that after then they would tell me what to do. I believed him and I was waiting for the second hearing until I received another letter yesterday from the municipality giving me seven days to pay up and vacate the flat. Please, what can I do?Feb 21, 2025

Are there any legal restrictions on discussing psychedelics in a UAE-based podcast?
Q: Hi, I am looking to start a podcast discussing psychedelics and my experience with psilocybin in a clinical setting. I will cover new research while making it clear that I am not suggesting illegal use of these substances. I was wondering about the regulations in the UAE regarding discussions on psychedelics. A few years ago, a medical conference featured a speaker on psychedelic research, so I assume discussing the topic is not illegal. It’s a very niche subject, but I would appreciate your advice on whether starting this podcast would be possible. Thanks!Feb 21, 2025

Can my brother be released from Abu Dhabi judicial court if he filed an appeal to reduce fine?
Q: Hi. My brother has been in Abu Dhabi judicial court for 2 weeks now and he had his first session with the judge 2 days ago. Yesterday, the result came out, and it says that he has a fine of 10k dirhams. But now, I checked the case again this morning, it says there is an appeal from the party. If he appealed to a higher court and paid the fine of 10k, can he still be released even if he has another hearing with a higher court to reverse the decision of a lower court?Feb 21, 2025
