Comprehensive Our Family Lawyer Services
Child Custody
In the UAE, child custody is governed primarily by Sharia law, with the child’s welfare being the top priority. Typically, the mother is granted custody of young children, especially if they are under 11 years old for boys and 13 for girls.
After these ages, the child’s preference is considered. However, custody may be transferred to the father if the mother remarries or is deemed incapable of caring for the child. Non-Muslim expatriates can apply their home country’s custody laws, provided they align with UAE public policy. The courts aim to ensure both parents maintain meaningful relationships with the child.
Divorce
Divorce is the legal solution to marriage. In Dubai, either spouse can file a divorce lawsuit with the Family Guidance Section of the Dubai Courts.
Divorce in the UAE is governed by Sharia law for Muslims and civil law for expatriates. Muslims can seek divorce through unilateral Talaq or mutual Khula. Expatriates typically follow their home country’s laws, provided they don’t conflict with UAE policy.
