Father fears ex wife in Dubai will put him on Interpol

A British father fears he could be listed on Interpol after his wife left him in Dubai under pressure from her strict father. The couple were tied up in complex divorce proceedings, the stuff of expat nightmares. He lost his assets and his bank accounts were frozen when a judgement was entered against him in absentia.

Despite him being granted parental responsibility while she won custody (a strange UAE ruling that prefers men to have authority over major decisions like education), she continually reneged on court appointed visitations and the courts didn’t seem to care. He was forced to return to the UK for work but is now afraid she will pursue criminal cases against him over the financial court orders which could result in an Interpol Red Notice.
