  • Muslim Divorces

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

  • For Non-Muslim Divorces

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 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.

Professional Support By Leading Family Lawyers

When people meet us in legal consultation or legal counselling sessions, then we spend as much time 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-old 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 lawyers have the best knowledge and practical experience. We provide the most updated and realistic legal solution.

Alimony & Child Support Lawyers

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”.
