Can a company that I witnessed against in a fraud case file a case against me?
Q: I and two of my employees gave witness against some people in Ajman that I saw selling a container of cell phones that they took from a guy they cheated. Also, I witnessed that they were involved in the fraud. They got convicted and they made an appeal. Now they did the following: 1) The company owner (Staying in Pakistan) confessed in the objection that he did everything legally, such as signing an agreement and selling the company to a company other than the person I witnessed against. 2) They mentioned the mistake in my dates that the material was sold inside the port directly from company to company not by them. I gave dates of witnessing them 5 days later as compared to papers of delivery given by Dubai customs under name of buyer. 3) They showed that they have previous cases against me that I did not tell the court, prosecution, and judge. Can they get easy acquittal? How can I stop them from getting acquittal because after acquittal they will surely open a case against me?

Does switching from a DMCC company visa to a Golden Visa reset my EOSB calculation?
Q: Hi, I have been working for a company for 5 years now, and I am eligible to apply for a Golden Visa based on my salary and designation. My company is telling me that when I switch from a company visa to a Golden Visa, I will need to collect my complete EOSB upon canceling my visa with them and restart as a new employee with the company. This means my EOSB will start from zero and will be calculated at 21 days instead of 30 days. Is this legally correct, or is my company telling me this to discourage me from applying for the Golden Visa? My company is a DMCC-registered company, and my visa is a DMCC visa. If a company refuses to give an NOC for a Golden Visa, is there anything that can be done?

Can my husband demand a separate device for our child, and could it affect my parental rights?
Q: Hello, My husband and I are married and have a 6-year-old child. Due to ongoing disputes, he is demanding that I get a separate device and SIM card for our child so that he and his family can contact the child without using my number. He has also instructed his family to block me and communicate only through a separate number, claiming that I do not facilitate enough communication with them. I have never prevented anyone from contacting our child, and I will still be the one managing the device and calls. Does he have the right to impose this unreasonable demand on me? If I comply, could this set a legal precedent that might impact my parental rights in the future?+3
