(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) A Moroccan woman is accusing her ex-husband, a member of the Qatari royal family, of not paying school fees for their son and other house expenses for a period of three years.
The woman filed a lawsuit against the Qatari man, who is related to the ruling family, at the Abu Dhabi Court of First Instance demanding that he pays the school fees for their son and also provides him with health insurance.
The woman also asked court that her ex-husband to pay her alimony and other family expenses including house rent for her and her son.
She explained in her lawsuit that she was married to the Qatari under a contract issued by the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department on October 9, 1996 and that in 2003, she had a child with him.
The couple separated in 2005 but remarried in 2010 and the man asked the woman to join her in Qatar.
And in 2016, the husband reportedly divorced the Moroccan, who was apparently staying in Abu Dhabi and sent her copy of the divorce letter through Whatspp.
The man said that during their second time in marriage, the Qatari refused to pay all the family expenses including house rent for three consecutive years.
She said the man also refused to pay the tuition fees for their son.
The mother said she and her son had to rely on handouts from her family members and friends to survive.
She said she went through a difficult time to earn a living with her ex-husband being well off and coming from the reputable family. The woman also presented to court copies of the father and the son's passport showing that they were from the Qatar royal family.
According to the Moroccan, she currently fears she might face eviction anytime from the house where she stays with her son, because she has spent almost a year without paying the rent.
Meanwhile, the Abu Dhabi's personal affairs department issued an order obliging the Qatari to pay for the school expenses of his son and a monthly Dh10,000 to his mother for their home expenses.
Court will hear the case again on August 23.
