Can I file a case to raise the child maintenance from outside if my ex-husband is in Dubai?
Q: Hi! I divorced my ex-husband in Romania where we were married. At that time, his salary was low because of the Covid situation and the court assigned him to pay our son`s maintenance of 300 euros. He has moved to Dubai (he was a pilot in Romania and he now works for an airline in Dubai). He makes a lot more, wouldn`t tell me how much but based on what I read online about the company, he is making between 7-8000 euros. He rarely comes back to Romania to see our son and he refuses to raise the child support amount he gives to him. Is there anything I can do according to the UAE laws considering I am not a resident of your country? Questions & Answers

I won the case against my ex-employer based on a lower salary. Should I appeal?
Q: Dear all, I have just won my case against my former employer. However, the salary the court used for the calculations of my arrears is the one mentioned in the labor contract (46000 per month) instead of the actual salary paid out via WPS (55200). I hired one of the best law firms here, and we submitted salary slips, bank statements with credits, and a salary certificate with 55200 as the salary. However, the judge used 46000 to calculate the payout. Now, I have the option to appeal. But the difference is barely 20000 and from what I have heard, the appeal could take 2-3 months more. What should I do? Appeal or take whatever is given? Grateful for your thoughts on this matter. Thank you. Questions & Answers
