My ex husband owes me a substantial amount of money from our divorce two years ago. Stupidly I didn't take him to court as we were on good terms but he has still not paid me the money owed which he was suppose to within a year. We have a written contract between us that is not legally enforced but my question is how do I now get him to pay me the money legally. Will a solicitor/lawyer be able to enforce the payment. We were married and divorced in the UAE, no children and he is British and I am Australian. If anyone can recommend an affordable solicitor/lawyer that deals with divorce disputes please let me know. I no longer have a UAE visa either, so not sure if that affects the situation or not. TIA.

I think you should consider professional legal advice from an experienced family lawyer. From my personal experience (for a friend) I would recommend Khairallah advocates (https://www.khairallahlegal.com).

In order to live and work in Dubai, we need to have a residence visa especially if he owns a company here. There are plenty of Dubai lawyers on the web you can write to and get their legal advice. Good Luck

You will need to appoint a lawyer and sign to him Power of Attorney to represent you, then he can have your contract legally enforced if he is still a resident in the UAE.
