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.
Tell us the essentials, not the whole story. We confirm the consultation fee before you book; if you instruct us, it is deducted from your legal fee.
Review the message, then send it when you are ready. Calls and WhatsApp are answered 24/7, and we reply to every enquiry within one working day.
Open your pre-filled WhatsApp messageTap Send in WhatsApp and the team will receive your details. You will not need to type them twice.
Your spouse has already spoken to a lawyer, and you are still trying to work out what your rights are.
Money, savings or a business interest suddenly feels less secure than it did last week.
Someone has told you that a property in one name means you have no say.
You are being asked to sign something quickly to “keep it amicable.”
A child travel issue has become urgent, or you are worried it might.
You are an expatriate and nobody has explained whether UAE law or your home law changes the outcome.
You do not need to solve the whole divorce today. You do need to avoid giving away leverage before you know what the law, the documents and the facts mean for you.
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.
Custody, guardianship and travel are treated as urgent decisions in their own right, not as bargaining chips in a financial argument.
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.
You do not need to have the perfect words or every document to get a useful first view.
From the first enquiry, we focus on what is happening now, what could change next and what information will help us assess the options.
You get a clear explanation of the next step, the consultation fee and anything we need to see before you decide whether to proceed.
Tell us what happened, how urgent it is and the approximate value involved. That lets us understand whether we are the right fit and how quickly the team should respond.
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. Which serves you depends on where your assets sit and what your marriage looks like on paper. It is the single most consequential decision in an expatriate divorce and it should be taken deliberately, not by default.
Often, yes. Title is one factor. Contributions, the source of the funds and the applicable law all bear on it. Assets a client had been told were beyond reach have been brought into the estate once the paper trail was assembled.
Travel restrictions on children can be applied for and they are granted. They can also be challenged and lifted. If this is a live risk in your matter, raise it in the first conversation rather than later.
Yes. We confirm the consultation fee before you book. If you instruct HK Legal to handle your matter, that fee is deducted from your legal fee.
Yes. Instalment options are available. After we understand the matter, we explain the fee structure and payment options clearly.
We treat every enquiry as confidential from the first message, whether or not you decide to instruct us.
Start with a confidential enquiry. We explain the consultation fee before you book and, if you instruct HK Legal, deduct it from your legal fee.
Nothing is filed, and no fee is agreed, until you tell us to proceed.
