Will I be liable if I refuse to work with an employer who harasses me?
Q: I have agreed to be a company director to someone who`s living in UK. I have submitted documents and details of me to the company. The guy I am working with has mental issue and I wasn`t able to provide him help. He swears and speaks ill of me. I told him I am no longer willing to work with him after the way he behaved. He threatened me and said he will file a case against me. Will it be possible as he is in the UK and I am in the UAE? He has my passport details. But I merely did not do anything offensive against him. I have all his voice recordings as proof.

Filing for divorce by children due to continuous arguments between parents
Q: Hello, I was wondering is it possible for my parents to get a divorce if I (21 years) daughter filed a report against them? They have previously split up in 2019 and went to the family guidance (the report was regarding my father`s physical abuse and cheating on my mother). My dad can’t physically abuse my mom anymore due to court rules but he has been doing it mentally & verbally almost every day now, during daylight and literally after 12 am; it doesn’t matter with him. I started recording some of their arguments when it was clear in June but sometimes it’s not possible so I listen through my AirPods live feature in case I have to step up. He would argue over stupid things like why she won’t go out or accuse her of cheating or money issues, etc. They don’t get along and there is hate in between everything. My siblings and I want them to get divorced; 3 of us are 18+ while the other two are 10 & 15. I want them to divorce or stop my dad from living with us. We are exhausted. What can I do?
