UAE: Father ordered to pay Dh104,000 to ex-wife after refusing to settle children's school fees

After refusing to pay his children's school fees, a father was ordered to pay his ex-wife Dh104,000. The woman sued her ex-husband as he had failed to provide the school payments as mandated by the court when they had separated due to 'irreconcilable disagreements.' She had to pay the school bills out of her cash so the children could attend their studies. The complainant presented the invoices to the court and demanded that her ex-husband pay the money. The Abu Dhabi Family and Civil Administrative Cases Court found in favor of the woman, ordering the man to pay Dh104,000 to his ex-wife and emphasizing that it is his responsibility to pay for their children's education. He was also told to pay for the woman's legal expenses. BKM/ Expat Media
