How can I lift a travel ban and relocate abroad with joint custody of my children?
Q: Hello, I am a Hindu Indian woman who recently got divorced in Dubai, with joint custody of my 1-year-old twin boys. My husband (also Indian and Hindu) imposed a travel ban on me before the divorce case. What are the ways to remove the travel ban? I need to return to my country, as my financial situation here is challenging (even with the maintenance). Will I be able to take my children with me if I secure a job in Australia?

Can the court replace an expert report that ignored critical evidence?
Q: Hi, In a commercial case filed against me by my partner, an expert report has been issued against me, as the expert neglected my documents, even though they were critical evidence in the dispute.

Is there a possibility that the judge might return the report to the expert or appoint another one? Lastly, if the judgment goes against me and I file an appeal, would the appellate court appoint a new expert?
