How many days can I stay in Dubai in a year?

I looked online but could not find the answer to my question. I hope you ladies can help me.

My children live in Dubai with their father. I come and visit them once a month. As the custody is 50/50, I have to be here 15 days in a month. This means that in total I spend roughly around half the year in Dubai, 170 days in 12 visits. My question is:

1. Am I breaking any laws by being here so much?
2. Do I need a visa/resident permit to continue this arrangement?
3. Do I have any legal/financial responsibilities to the UAE government if I am here so half the year?

I just am panicking that one day I would land in Dubai and would not be allowed out of the airport or would served with some fine.

Any answers highly appreciated.

Thanks

Your visa status and requirements will depend entirely on your nationality.
