Hi Life is laugh, Unfortunately, security deposits cheques are usually cashed and given to the landlord after you sign your agreement. The agency only keeps it sometimes when the landlord has a property management contract with the agency. So, the delay will happen if the landlord lives abroad or is having financial problems and not wanting to return your money. Your contract might state that security deposit is given to landlord. Check the copies of cheques you made to the agency... are they to landlord or agency??? Just call your agent and ask super nicely what is the problem, than start calling him everyday and remember to be polite :) Dangerous blonde : Yes, they should have let you use your own painters for sure. But usually everyone has to paint the property or pay for it as nobody would want to move in a flat that was painted one year ago and lived in... No new home feeling in there. We all like our luxuries here :)

It seems that your DH is a bit confused and maybe depressed as he is in a new place. Maybe a hobby where he can meet like minded people and a bit of space and fun will allow him to get back to his old self. This would do amazing for you as well, make friends, look after yourself and have a life on your own will make u happier and having a lots more to talk about. It's very hard to have an unplanned baby, as life changes a lots. it's important to love and spend time with your baby, but far more important for him to have a happy family. Sometimes we cannot live with our own mum for 3 months after we grow up... would not expect anyone else to be sane after 3 months with the best MIL... Give you family and DH time to recover, but make sure you set a time frame for it (in your mind). Also, let him know what u feel when he says he is not sure about having this relationship as counseling will only work if he wants to make it work. Be shaken for a wile is ok, not forever !!!! Best luck for you and your little one !

Sorry ladies, I saw a lady in the past that posted a divorce or divorce lawyer for AED 6500 only... any idea about reasonable lawyers, please. The husband is not talking much to me or our child those days and I feel like I better find a lawyer soon... all the lawyers I quoted charged AED 20000+

Thanks so much for the support ladies. Definitely woman feel very vulnerable in UAE regarding the finances and children. Yes,I'm feeling a bit scared of court proceedings but had to go down there and speak to someone about opening a case and they reassured me that a man has a obligation to provide for his children in this country and the mother has custody until child is 11. my son is only 5. So I'm taking a chance this week and going back today to talk again. Wish me luck, please Nathalie-Thanks, I found the organization on the December post. Emmsie- I'm not from UK, but already checked some "divorce online" sites.

Hi, The husband or soon to be ex is being very unreasonable since we separated 3 months ago and making so many treats to me that i'm being forced to open a court case soon or get out of here. I tried to talk and be amicable but he insists on giving me a very hard hard time. I have a little boy age 5, and would rather try to go to court here. Right now, I do not have much money to spare, so I really hope anyone can recommend an affordable family lawyer. Did anyone get a divorce in Dubai Courts to tell me more about it, please. My husband is from UK and all I need is to make sure that my child stays with me. <em>edited by resihun on 19/01/2013</em>
