I am in a messy divorce and my ex is threatening to file a “kidnapping” charge because I moved to Dubai with our children. Can they really issue an Interpol Red Notice for a family matter? Is the UAE likely to extradite a parent in this situation? I have a court order from my home country that allows me to travel but she is ignoring it.

Family law disputes often turn into criminal “kidnapping” cases when one parent wants to use Interpol for leverage. While it is rare, it does happen if the other side is aggressive. You can read about how to defend against these “civil” warrants at https://intercollegium.com/ and they can help you show the UAE court that you have a valid legal right to the children. The UAE is very protective of family rights and they won’t extradite if the case doesn’t follow local standards. You need to have all your court orders translated and certified. I know a mother who went through this and it was a total nightmare until she got a specialist firm to explain the situation to the local prosecutor. Don’t stay silent – you need to prove your side of the story before the notice is even issued.
