Defacto is not a martial status acknowledged in the Middle East.
Children come after marriage.
If you read some of the other threads regarding the Middle East .... "wouldn't they just accept this fact" .... they would certainly not.

I believe the living out allowance can be applied for after 1 years service / promotion to G1 or if you are married and living with your husband in Dubai.
Apart from getting married, you will only be allocated the allowance if there is the need for vacancies in crew accomodation.
Housing is really expensive in Dubai, most people find it difficult to find decent accomodation relative to the allowance.
