Re: Divorce for Fathers
After reading all the posts, I can't believe how fortunate I was with my divorce.
No lawyers and everything was agreed amicably. Both of us are not materialistic and therefore left it open to one another on preferred items to split.
Not going to lie, it scares me getting back into a relationship after reading this thread.

It is, you will think twice. I was warned upfront by my friends not to let me in with a certain nationality as they all described what eventually happened. Lesson learned the hard way.

It reminds me of my parents and reminds me again why I've been with my Mrs for 8 years and not popped the question. Not interested in ****ing around with big decisions like who's going to be responsible for making sandwiches properly for the rest of my life.

Re: Divorce for Fathers
To be honest, try to settle with her out of court and avoid those bloody lawyers. They will drain your wallet seriously.
I was in a similar situation, Married in Dubai with a Russian, luckily enough never registered it back home in Europe, my son was born in Dubai (costed me a fortune on hospital bills just for delivery only (approx 90K AED), my ex wife working for EK had a shit insurance so I ended up paying for all out of my pocket)
The mess all started when I was laid off from a well known energy company in Abu Dhabi (basically just kicked out as too expensive for them). I did manage to find pretty quick work as Technical Manager for a energy company based in Doha, Qatar including a full family contract with all the benefits ect. Madame the princess didn't want to move along as she didn't liked Qatar so, she filed a divorce case against me in the Dubai courts. (I was at the time already in Qatar and wasn't aware of those proceedings)
Her lawyer, managed to get hold of my icloud email address (never been using that) and forwarded me a nice letter by email, that I only saw like 3 weeks after it was sent. In first instance i thought it was a 1 April joke as the letter was full with grammatical errors (claiming that I was still living in a residence at Dubai that has never ever been mine, wrong contact information and my name misspelled) She was demanding all kind of ridiculous things that I had to pay for her housing in Dubai, her cost of living and lot's of insults being made up out of nowhere. Basically the madame in question always has had a perfect life in Dubai, living in the marina, her own car and never had to paid for anything as she had a credit card from me.
Anyway they make some kind of appointment in the court where they ask you to show up, hence I couldn't be bothered as 1st. nobody asked me personally (I would expect a letter of invitation where I should sign for receipt right ?) 2nd. I was busy with work in Qatar. I've informed my sponsor in Qatar (oil company) on the occurrence and since then I've never ever heard anything from it anymore. I've asked several times to her lawyer and the ex in question if I could get a copy of the court papers that the divorce was granted (never got it)
On a side note, She took my son out of the UAE without my permission hence, I could have had her prosecuted for child abduction, destroyed her career with Emirates and get her eventually deported back to the lovely Russia. I didn't as I don't see the point of endless court battles and fighting against a person whom you once loved. (basically the court would demand me paying for her as she would be jobless/homeless and 30% of my salary would have been more as her salary with EK. that trick didn't work out for her, getting money and not working)
As for me, I live a good life apart from having lost my son for which I hold her responsible on his well-being. (I'm always prepared to pay everything for my son on the condition that she sent me the bills and till to date she failed to do so which pretty much leaves me up with the idea that she has been stealing money from me before)
Anyway, I wish you good luck. As you can see your'e not the only one.
