Return of a paid investment to a partner willing to quit
Q: Hi, I invested in a hotel business in Dubai with 7 investors including me. the cost invested by all of us was 1.05 million. One of the investors ran the restaurant full time every day, for 20 months. The guy who ran it full time cheated all of us by not paying us even a single penny in 20 months & made sure the debt goes up above AED 750K. The other 6 investors don`t have any legal proof as we only invested funds. The document owner is the guy who ran the restaurant 51% & the other 49% is on friend`s wife name. He hasn`t paid salaries to staff, rent, vendors, vat nothing. We investors even invested additional 300k to pay rent initially, and even that he did not return us. He cheated us. Now all investors have decided to kick him out & invest more funds to clear the negative 750K. I don`t want to continue with these guys anymore, so I want to quit. But they are asking me to quit with zero! I have invested AED 156500 & they are not ready to pay even one dirham. Please advise how to get at least some of my investment. Please help.

Avoiding a labor ban upon resignation from a limited contract
Q: I am working on a limited contract with a company. I have signed a 2-year limited contract and I have completed 9 months. I was trying to negotiate with the company. I wanted to leave back to home country due to family issues and I was ready to serve a notice period and 45 days` salary or even 3 months` salary, so that the employer does not put a ban on me. They replied they will put a ban and they don’t need a notice period. They will follow the UAE law and they have already removed the system access from me. They have emailed me, now due low performance we have suspended you for two days. What’s the best solution to get rid of them and avoid a ban? Will this suspension affect me? What’s the best solution you can suggest for me?

The estimated amount of alimony for child and wife upon divorce
Q: Alimony Money after Divorce Hi, I am going through a divorce with my first wife. The court has advised up to discuss the alimony money. She continues to increase her demand and is demanding much more than she originally requested to the court as she filed for the divorce. I would like to understand how much will be the alimony money if the court makes the decision, and how much should be the kids` expenses. Info: My current salary is 23K. I have 4 children with my first wife from whom I am getting a divorce. I have one kid with my second wife. I have my mother under my sponsorship as my father passed away recently. I have a bank loan where I need to pay AED 9,000 every month. My first wife is demanding approximately AED 11,000 (as expenses) plus accommodation, school fees and custody charges, which comes around 20K every month. In this situation, I am left wit 3Kh only to pay loans, my living, support the second wife, kid and mother. Thanks!
