هل يمكن الحكم بنفقة سكن العدة وبدل الضرر لدى استئناف حكم أول درجة؟
س: السلام عليكم، طلقت زوجتي (لا يوجد أطفال) طلاقًا رجعيا أوليًا بإرادتي المنفردة. نحن من سكان إمارة أبوظبي وانتهت عدتها. حُكم لها في محكمة أول درجة في أبوظبي بمؤخَّر الصداق ونفقة العدة ونفقة المتعة ورُفض طلبها بنفقة أجرة سكنى العدة على استقلال لشمول نفقة العدة المحكوم بها ضمن مشتملاتها على هذا الطلب، ورفض طلب بدل الضرر المادي والمعنوي. أتفهم الحكم وأنا على استعداد لدفعه، ولكنها استأنفت الحكم بمطالبة بزيادة النفقات والحكم لها بأجرة مسكن عدة وبدل الضرر. علمًا بأنها طوال فترة العدة كانت تسكن في منزل والدها بإرادتها ولم تطلب المجيء لمسكن الزوجية الذي استأجرته وكان ما زال مؤجرًا طوال فترة العدة. سؤالي: هل سيُحكَم لها بنفقة سكنى العدة لمدة ٣ أشهر مرة خاصة أنه لا يوجد أطفال وهي ليست حاملاً؟ وماذا عن طلب بدل الضرر؟ أرجو المساعدة بهذا الخصوص. وشكرًا!

An employer refuses to give an employee his labor dues after waiting for 6 months
Q: Dear sir/madam, I served my 2 months notice and resigned on the 12th of August as I was supposed to leave the country on the 14th of August during peak COVID time with my dependents. However, I had to ask for a 1-month extension which would be served with my annual leaves as during peak COVID times, the flights would get canceled without notice. My manager and the HR were kept in the loop and my HR sent me a work permit cancellation letter which I signed and submitted upon confirmation from my manager. Later when I enquired, my HR said that I am absconding and would receive my settlement after 6 months so I waited. Now after 6 months, on inquiry, HR calls my manager and asks him to inform me that I won`t be paid anything as I am absconding. Now my question is when I have kept everyone in the loop, my manager, the HR with all the steps, how can I be declared absconding. I have all the emails and chats as proof and would like to know where do I stand legally? Questions & Answers

Will a medical condition be considered in defaulting on a loan?
Q: Hello, Please help, I was not able to pay my loan within 3 months for the amount of 841 monthly, because I had to undergo a major caesarian operation. The balance amount of my loan is only like 17 thousand, and the bank deposited the 40,400 security cheque on my account so it will be bounced. I can arrange the overdue balance, but the fines of the bounced cheque they raised are giving me a heavy load to settle. They keep adding interest on my payment since before, even when I`m paying monthly regularly. Please help and advise. They said they will proceed to court. The interest is giving me too much heavy financial crisis. Questions & Answers
