Options Availability

It has already been implemented on the federal level that from marriage to divorce and to inheritance, everything will be or can be decided without using Sharia Law if the applicants request not to use Sharia Law or if they are not Muslims. If they prefer to use Sharia Law, then it can be used, despite they are not Muslims. The absence of any valid law or legal results, will also make the Sharia Law to be used as preference. Such things and legal amendments, are in the complete knowledge of our Family Lawyers. Therefore, we claim as most smart and professional lawyers in Dubai for results, research and development purposes.

Knowledge and Practical Expereince

When people meet us in legal consultation or legal counselling sessions, then we spend the maximum time as much as we can, to understand the matter completely, from the scratch and do our best to convey the legal solution to our clients. For Example, if a 3-year baby girl’s custody, her father wants to win, then the chances are not bright. Neither Sharia Law nor any other law supports the custody of a KID at this age. For Example, usually, a boy for age up to 11, and a girl for age up to 13, would be given to, the mother, mostly in judicial custody cases. There are a few conditions where the father might win custody. But the first right is by the mother. Our family lawyers do have the best knowledge and practical expereince. We provide the most updated and realistic legal solution.

Divorce:

Muslim Divorces are managed through Sharia Law. Sharia Law is applied to every person in the world who follows ISLAM. It does not matter he is Emirati or a Non-Emirati. As per Sharia Law if the Husband is a Muslim man and woman is not, then again priority will be awarded to Sharia Law.

For Non-Muslim Divorces, as per “Article 1 of the Federal Law No 28 of 2005″ for Personal Affairs”, parties can choose their native country law or the law where they got married. If their Law will not provide a suitable solution or is found silent then Sharia Law will replace it. Sharia Law will not be replacing the entire Law, it will only be replacing the portion indeed, where their native law will be silent.

For Amicable Divorce, people are confused and expect that Lawyers will finish in one week or a few days. Though a side agreement needs to be prepared, the Court Procedure has to be followed. It is required and necessary. Family Lawyers are responsible to explain the entire procedure and its results.

Alimony & Child Support

Alimony to the wife and child support to the children has to be paid if there is a divorce. It is decided as per the religion, as per the marriage place and as per the income level of the husband. Child Support includes children’s accommodation, travel, education, food and other life-related things. As per Sharia Law husband will have to provide the Nafaqah (Arabic: نَفَقَة). Therefore if the NAFAQAH is not paid then it would be made part of Alimony. Article 66 UAE personal status law” Wife Alimony is up to husband os obligation from the date he stops paying her. It is considered as a Debt by the Court or Judiciary. It can’t be removed or finished unless fully paid by the husband. Article 67 UAE personal status law” wife’s claim in court more than three years old will not be entertained”.
