IrishJay, I would appreciate a copy of those notes also. Shocked at the cost of getting that advice and after all, at the moment it's not only my money ;-)

In case that you have further info can you contact me privately.
I would like to see what are my options, thank you very much.

Hi, Can any one guide me on this? I am working in Dubai living with my two children. My husband is not living with me. He came to visit us and to take the children back to their country to spend winter vacation with them. He then held back the children saying that the children wrere abused by my mother who is living with me here in Dubai and that I was neglecting the children due to long working hours. He wanted me to pack up and come back, which I refused and demanded children back. He said that he would not give in to my demand. He wanted me to talk to the kids which I refused until he brings back the children to Dubai. Now its been six months I did not speak to my kids and husband. I in fact I blocked his cell no, watsup , skype etc.. Now again I sent him a msg that he should come back with children so that we can reach some settlement or reconcile. He is adamant and maintain that he would not bring the children here, fearing that I will claim custody of children. He is ready to come alone. He also said that the children do not want to come here now cause i did not talk to them for six months. Please advise if I get him arrested on the charges of kidnapping once he comes to Dubai alone and ask him to arrange to bring the children back to Dubai. Appreciate your help.

Dear All,

Does anyone know how much a travel ban for 2 children would cost approximately? I got a mind boggling figure of AED 25,000.

Irishjay ,

Please confirm the process to put child ban and how much will it cost. Also please confirm if wife takes the child and the immigration stops her to take the child, then what will happen? Is their any way that she can take the child with her? Please respond

My husband and i are in the divorce process which is happening in India. As soon as i filed for a divorce case in India, he took my kids away from me stating that hes the sponsor and has not shown or allowed them to talk to me for 3 months. hes promised to take them to US and have given them a very rosy picture. he has a labor case against him and is a jobless man. He's shamelessly staying in my apartment which i had brought with all my savings. He was successful in getting the apartment's half share in his name and i'm still paying the EMI for the apartment. Its been 8 months now since I've lived with my children, my eldest son does not speak to me anymore and he hates me all the more. my younger child (9 yrs) wants to be with me but hes not allowed to go out with me or stay with me. i stay separately and have no access to my kids. he wants a mutual divorce but he wants full custody of both kids as well as a huge sum of money around half a million dirhams. All i asked him was that i just wanted the younger child to complete his education in Dubai and thereafter would send him to US to join his dad and brother. now both father and the elder son is brainwashing the younger child against me.
luckily I'm not in his visa and is earning well enough to take care of both my kids. but hes been successful in brainwashing both my children and the mental trauma he and his family members have caused is beyond repair. i have put a travel ban on my younger son.

can anyone advice me on how i can get the kids to be with me unless the divorce case in india is resolved? he has no court order to keep the kids . can the police help?

i tried for a temporary custody through the divorce courts....they denied it on the grounds that we are still married.

the police would not involve since its a civil case. i approached a women and child protection organization and they told us to go through the courts.

any advice or help is appreciated.

Dear Jaan,

Has the matter been resolved? If not, I would be happy to assist.

In this circumstance, you may be better off filing for divorce here in Dubai, rather than India. However, if you are married under the Hindu Act, then you may not be able to.

Hi Irishjay

I wondered if you might be able to help me out with some advice and information, based on your experience...

I'm from the UK (and still reside in the UK). My ex-wife took my young son out of the UK without my permission/consent and has settled in the UAE. I would like to try and gain access/custody...which has completely denied since she left the UK...

Initially, she was working in the UAE whilst still married to me and without my permission. I've heard that this can be illegal under the UAE law? I also have some evidence she signed up to a dating/matrimonial website during this time.

I don't really know where to turn or how to start...but would be grateful if you could offer any insight...
