Son's rights in child support
Q: I have a 3-year-old son who is currently being diagnosed with a disease that requires immediate medical attention and enough funding to avoid complication in his heart. Prior to this situation, I have asked his father months ago of his paternal obligation and financial support to our son but he has intentionally ignored us up to this date because he has a new family but they know of my sons` existence. I am very much desperate considering that time is very important and I don`t have enough money to support the medical needs of my son. How can I oblige the father who is currently working in a big company in Dubai and does nothing on this matter?

Mandatory health insurance
Q: Dear Sir, Madam, I have a question in relation to the DHA mandatory health insurance cover that has come into effect. I am the owner of a Dubai-based FZ company and have my residence visa through an employment contract with this company. The health insurance that I do have is DHA approved, but was requested and issued under my own personal name - and is therefore not linked to the company in any way. Is that a problem? Does the mandatory health insurance have to be requested by, and issued to the company? Thanks.Apr 2, 2017

Termination of employment during probation period
Q: My company terminated me even though I did not violate any rules or do any misconduct or any of the reasons in the UAE Law to be terminated. They also know that it is not my fault. They hired me last August 2016 as a bus attendant under the sponsorship of RTA Dubai Taxi. Now, they terminated me before my probation ends without notice for the reason that I was underage in which they can`t issue the permit. They did not inform me that there is an age requirement during the interview process and yet they hired me. They also let me pay for the visa. Now, I want to go back to my home country. I would like to ask, can I get a repatriation expense if I`m terminated under probation? And what other things I can do in this situation? Thank you so much.Apr 2, 2017
