إسقاط النفقة بسبب انتقال الحاضنة والمحضون إلى بلد آخر
س: السلام عليكم، طليقتي كانت تقيم في الإمارات وقد تم تطليقها بعد قضيتي طلاق للضرر - رُفضت الأولى وقُبلت الثانية ثم حُكم لها بنفقة للطفل وبدل سكن. غادرت أبوظبي وتقيم حاليًا مع الطفل في مصر ولا تقوم بتنفيذ الرؤية مطلقًا، ولكنها تتحصل على نفقة وبدل سكن بالدرهم. عندما دفعت بإسقاط النفقات حيث أن الطفل مقيم في مصر ولن يعود، دفعت هي بعدم اختصاص المحكمة حيث أن إقامتها انتهت وتقيم في مصر، وبالفعل حكمت المحكمة بعدم الاختصاص (ابتدائي واستئناف). كيف يمكنني إغلاق التنفيذ حيث أن الطفل مقيم في مصر وهي تمكنت من مسكني في مصر أيضًا؟ Questions & Answers

How to transfer son's sponsorship while ex-wife refuses to hand over her Emirates ID?
Q: Dear Sir/Madam, I am a French national who divorced my Dutch wife in Dubai under Dubai law. We have been divorced for 7 years and have a 15-year-old son. Until recently (December 2022), our son was under my ex-wife`s sponsorship. However, her visa expired in December last year and she has not renewed it. As a result, both our son and my ex-wife have been overstaying for the past 6 months. I have informed her that I can and should sponsor our son, as I am the legal guardian and the legitimate father. However, she has not been willing to hand over her Emirates ID so that I can transfer the sponsorship and apply for visa renewal and health insurance. I simply need to be able to transfer the sponsorship of the expired visa in order to process the residency visa renewal for my son, who needs to be registered for the next school year and needs health insurance as he is currently not covered and is on overstay.

I'm renewing my tenancy contract and the landlord wants to increase above RERA index
Q: Hello, I hope you are doing well! I really need some advice. I`m renewing my contract in a few months and the landlord was asking for AED 60000. The maximum increase according to the RERA index is AED 50,820 which was my proposal. The owner responded by saying that they want AED 55000 as the rent. I am confused because I thought by law the maximum increase would be within the RERA index. If I don`t agree to the owner`s rate, would I be compromised in any way? Please assist me. Thank you.
