Family Law
Divorce, custody, guardianship, and personal status matters across UAE courts.
Our approach
How we protect what matters most.
Family law in the UAE operates across multiple legal frameworks: Sharia courts for Muslim nationals, Personal Status Law for Muslim residents, and the recently expanded Abu Dhabi and Dubai civil family courts for non-Muslims. We handle divorce proceedings, child custody and guardianship disputes, maintenance claims, and prenuptial agreements with the cultural sensitivity and absolute discretion these matters require. Cross-border custody disputes involving children with ties to multiple jurisdictions require coordinated legal action, and our dual-jurisdiction presence allows us to act simultaneously in the UAE and KSA.
What we cover
- Divorce proceedings in Sharia and civil family courts
- Child custody, guardianship, and visitation arrangements
- Maintenance and alimony claims
- Cross-border family disputes across UAE and KSA
