My ex and I separated in Malta and share custody of our child, but they’ve already introduced our child to a new romantic partner very quickly, which I feel is inappropriate this early on. Do I have any legal ability to restrict or influence this kind of decision, or is it entirely up to them during their own custody time?

I’m about to buy travel insurance for an upcoming trip through a Malta-based provider, and I specifically want to understand whether typical policies here actually cover cancellation if I become ill before departure and can’t travel, or whether this is something that requires special additional coverage.

I’ve submitted what I believe is a clearly valid claim to my insurer in Malta, with all the required documentation provided, but it’s been going on for months now with the insurer repeatedly asking for more information without ever actually confirming or paying anything. Is there a legal timeframe within which they’re supposed to actually process and pay a claim?

I want to start a small business in Malta helping foreign entrepreneurs set up local companies, essentially preparing documents and liaising with the registry on their behalf. Someone mentioned I might need a licence for this. Is that actually the case, or is this just general business consultancy?

I’m applying for a residence permit in Malta as a self-sufficient individual rather than through employment, and I’ve seen health insurance mentioned as one of the requirements. Is this genuinely mandatory, and does any type of health insurance policy satisfy the requirement, or does it need to meet specific criteria?

I was browsing an electronics website registered in Malta and the listed price for a television was clearly shown as one figure, but at checkout it charged me a higher amount and only afterwards did I notice the difference on my bank statement.

I’m self-employed in Malta and this is my first year needing to file a tax return on my own business income. I want to make sure I understand the actual deadline for filing, since I don’t want to miss it and end up facing penalties.

I used a courier company in Malta to send an important package, and it was lost in transit. When I contacted the courier about compensation, they’re pointing to limited liability terms in their standard terms and conditions that would only cover a fraction of what the package was actually worth. Can they legally limit their liability like this?
