How can the wife force her husband to hold his responsibilities without divorce?

Q: Hello, My sister is married to an Indian who is working in Dubai for the last 6-7 years. He has been completely cut off from his wife and 1-year-old kid for the last 3 months. He writes in emails that he doesn’t want to continue and that he is going to cancel my sister`s residence visa. What options do we have in this case? My sister wants that he should continue the marriage but his activities do not suggest so. Is he not liable for anything? What rights do we have to pressurize him or in the future should we apply for abandonment/divorce in India or Dubai?

Is it possible to claim the EOSB after signing the cancellation paper?

Q: Hi, I am working for a company in Dubai that has a trade license registered both under the mainland and in the free zone. My work permit was under free zone for the last 06 years and now they have requested me to cancel the free zone visa and get the new work permit under the mainland. They have forwarded me a document from Tecom to proceed with the cancellation, stating that I have received all my dues as part of gratuity. However, the mitigation company has given a service continuation letter stating this is just an internal process and I have not received my dues. Is this enough to protect me legally from any dispute that may occur in the future, or do I need to ask them for a notary attestation of the outstanding dues to get more protection from a legal perspective? Kindly advise. Thanks

Can the employer deduct unpaid invoices by the employee's customer from his EOSB?

Q: Hi I`m resigning from my current company. But I`m worried because there has been an incident regarding a payment from a customer some months ago. The company is a leasing company. The incident involves a tenant who is working under a company that pays for his housing provided that all necessary docs are submitted to them. One of the docs needed is Tawtheeq or the documented tenancy contract in AUH which has some errors/differences from his last year`s Tawtheeq. Due to that, the tenant`s company refuses to pay our company the rent which is around 35000. My company is blaming me for this and they said that I should pay for the loss. The tenant paid from his own pocket 20,000. So there is a difference of 15000. Can they claim from me this amount once I resign? Will I be obliged to pay it before they can cancel me? Or have any grounds on filing a complaint against me? What are the legal bearings of this if any? I`m under Unlimited Contract started 10/01/21. It`s my 1st contract with them but it is my 2nd job in the UAE.

How to terminate property SPA and get refund in case of defaulting on payments

Q: I bought 2 flats, off-plan, in Dubai. The developer completed the project 2 months late and now requesting the remaining balance. Due to the pandemic, I lost most of my savings and my income has significantly reduced, so I am unable to pay the balance. I requested to change my payment plan and the developer did but added 6% on the top of the total price. I am disappointed with such a decision considering I joined the project from the start, so should gain some loyalty. Whereas they are offering a 25% deposit + 4 years post-handover payment plan to new buyers now with no interest. I tried to sell the apartments but this didn’t go down well due to the current pandemic situation and the developer refused to help. I am left with no choice but to terminate both agreements. I would like legal advice on how to terminate the agreements as I have never done it before and if there is any chance to get any money back from the developer. Many thanks.
