Checking any case and travel ban possibility
Q: Hi, I was married in Dubai in June 2015 and divorced in October 2016. My then wife was in another relationship. When I found out in Feb 2016, I filed for divorce in Scotland. Scots law dictates a separation of 1 year before the divorce is granted. As such, I travelled to Dubai in March 2016 to reclaim my belongings and finalize the decision. In Oct 2016, I received the confirmation of divorce from my then wife along with a statement from the court compelling me to pay AED 100,000.00 as compensation. I took the divorce as final but didn`t pay the bill. As such, I would like to know, is there any open case against me in the UAE preventing my travel?

الشريك المواطن في الشركات ذات المسؤولية المحدودة
س: السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته أنا لست مواطن ونويت على إنشاء مشروع تجاري بإمارة دبي، و أفكر في إنشاء شركه ذات مسئولية محدودة للتجارة العامة نظراً لوجود شركاء. ما هو الفرق بين وكيل الخدمات والكفيل؟ وهل قانوناً لو تعاقدت مع وكيل خدمات يحق لي إنشاء شركة تجارة عامة؟ ولو كان لا يجوز إنشاء شركة تجارة عامة باستخدام عقد وكيل الخدمات، لابد من وجود كفيل بنسبة 51%، فهل هناك طريقة ما لضمان الحقوق في العقد ما بين الكفيل والشركاء، نظرا لعدم مشاركة الكفيل في الاستثمار؟ ولكم جزيل الشكر والاحترامMar 15, 2018
