Our divorce lawyers in Dubai start with one question: your home country's law, or UAE law? The answer changes who keeps the property, what support looks like and where the children can travel. Most people find this out after they have already agreed to something. Speak to a senior advocate before that happens.

Before you make a decision, we look at the marriage, nationality, assets and the available legal route so you are not making a life-changing choice on someone else’s assumption.
The important documents, accounts, property interests and contributions are identified early, while there is still time to act with a clear head.

An advocate reads your documents and tells you plainly what your position is.
Which law applies, what we ask for, what we concede, set out in writing.
We open the matter or approach the other side, whichever is stronger.
Settlement or judgment, then enforcement, including abroad where needed.

Either can. Non Muslim expatriates may apply the law of their home country to divorce and to the division of assets, and there is a separate civil personal status regime in the UAE.

It is the single most consequential decision in an expatriate divorce and it should be taken deliberately, not by default.
