Husband demands ex-wife to return car he bought to drive children to school in Al Ain

Aya El Deeb, Staff Reporter

A man filed a lawsuit before the Al Ain Court of First Instance, demanding that his ex-wife be obligated to transfer the ownership of a car and hand it over to him in addition to obliging her to pay fees and expenses.

In his lawsuit he also demanded Dhs80,000, the full price of the car, in case she did not want to return the car.

The complainant said that the appellee was his wife, and during their marriage, he bought a vehicle with his money to drop his children to school, registered it in her name, and paid its price in monthly installments to the bank.

The complainant affirmed that after the divorce, custody of the children was withdrawn from his divorcee, so he demanded that she return the vehicle and register it in his name, but she refused.

The appellee's lawyer submitted a memorandum requesting refusal to hear the case due to a previous decision on it, and he submitted a copy of the final ruling in connection.

When the complainant was questioned about the vehicle, he affirmed that he bought it and that he registered it in the appelle’s name to drop his children to school, while the appellee affirmed that she had bought the vehicle with her own money.

The court indicated that the complainant previously filed a lawsuit to demand a divorce for damages, dropping all her rights and returning the car and all requests were rejected according to a final ruling, including the request to return the vehicle, and consequently, the court rejected the case and obligated the complainant to pay the expenses.
