Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, the wife of the ruler of Dubai, asked for a protection order against forced marriage, as well as guardianship of their children.
In return, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid made a request to return his children to Dubai, and asked the court to impose restrictions on the publicity of their legal case, which was rejected by the judge.
Princess Haya, 45, initially fled to Germany for asylum this year. It's reported that she resides in her home near Kensington Palace in central London.
