حضانة الأبناء ونفقاتهم عند الطلاق
س: أقامت زوجتي ضدي دعوى طلاق للضرر (قضية 1) ولم يثبُت الضرر. استأنفت زوجتي الحكم (قضية 2) وحكمت المحكمة بعدم ثبوت الضرر. لم تطعن زوجتي في حكم الاستئناف وأقامت دعوى طلاق للضرر جديدة (قضية 3) فيها نفس الاتهامات التي تم النظر فيها مسبقًا. عرضت المحكمة الأمر للحكمين وأوصى الحكمان بالتفريق بيننا بدون بدل. تم حجز القضية للحكم وفي يوم الحكم "قررت المحكمة إعادة الدعوى للمرافعة بعدما تبين أن الولد يبلغ من العمر15سنة؛ الأمر الذي يحتمل فيه أن يكون قد بلغ مبلغ الرجال ويستوجب سماع أقواله حول البلوغ واختياره الحاضن". لدي ابن عمره 15 عامًا (مقيم بالدولة) تخطى مرحلة البلوغ وابنة عمرها 17 عامًا (تدرس في الجامعة خارج الدولة وليس لها إقامة في الإمارات). أسئلتي: 1- في حالة اختيار الابن الإقامة مع أمه، هل ستمد المحكمة سن الحضانة؟ 2- هل ستُلزمني المحكمة بسكن للابن وأمه في الدولة (مع العلم أنني أفضل أن يقيم الابن معي)؟ 3- ما وضع الحضانة بالنسبة للابنة خارج الدولة (أمها مقيمة بالدولة)؟ 4- هل أستطيع اختيار إقامة الابن في بلدنا الأصلي؟ 5- إذا كان راتبي 18الف درهم شهريًا، فما مقدار النفقة وبدل السكن وبدل الخادمة المتوقَّع للأم والأبناء؟ Legal blog

Is a Physical Office Address Required When Starting a Business in Bahrain?

The responsibility of the broker if the customer wants to cancel the deal
Q: A customer ordered goods via a sale-purchase agreement (SPA), in Kenya. The SPA has a refund and arbitration clause to be processed in Kenya. The goods are currently in transit to DXB. The customer wants to cancel the deal and, instead of asking for a refund from the company in Kenya, he has filed a case against me in DXB for the refund. I originally introduced the buyer and seller as a broker. How can I cancel this false case against me? What are the legal implications for me? No money has been exchanged in DXB; the buyer paid in Kenya directly to the seller (invoice/receipt available). Questions & Answers

How to convince the execution judge to put a travel ban on company manager?
Q: Is it possible to put a travel ban on the manager of a debtor company in a civil execution lawsuit? I asked for a travel ban on the manager of a company. The judge refused because the identity of the manager was not declared in the trade license (But it shows in the company MOA and some final verdicts issued by the court). I then filed a grievance against the execution decision. But the grievance verdict was that I cannot pursue a manager to pay unless I prove mistake, fraud or deception by the manager. So, is it still possible to put a travel ban or detention on the company manager due to the default of payment of the company, even without proving any mistake, fraud or deception of the manager? Ref Article 186 of Cabinet Decision No. 57 On The Implementing Regulation Of Federal Law No. (11) Of 1992 On The Civil Procedure Law. The law allows travel ban/detention of any legal representative.
