A counterclaim filed by an Abu Dhabi resident against his ex-wife has been dismissed on appeal.
When the man and his wife separated, the court gave custody of the daughter to the mother. The man then filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife to strip her of her custody, arguing that she had misbehaved and was unable to take care of her children. The woman counterclaimed at the time, but both cases were dismissed.
The man explained that after the two lawsuits were dismissed, his ex-wife sued again to increase the alimony from Dh7,000 to Dh10,000 per month. She also demanded Dh500,000 for tuition fees from her daughter.
The man said the suits were malicious and filed a lawsuit seeking Dh51,000 in damages from his ex-wife.
After hearing from all parties, the Abu Dhabi Court of Appeal upheld the trial court’s previous ruling, which dismissed the man’s lawsuit against his ex-wife.
The man was also told to pay his ex-wife’s legal costs.
The case concerns the Muslim diaspora and the Emiratis. Currently, divorce and family cases of non-Muslim expats in Abu Dhabi are not handled by Sharia courts.
