Navigating family law in Dubai requires a deep understanding of local and international legal frameworks. At LYLAW, our family lawyers in Dubai have a wealth of knowledge to provide practical legal advice to our clients.
Our family law services
- Marriage
Dubai’s marriage system combines Sharia law with civil law principles. This dual system requires specialised expertise to properly address all legal aspects. Our family lawyers in Dubai are adept at drafting thorough and legally sound marriage contracts that protect our clients’ interests. Our family lawyers provide legal advice for Muslim and non-Muslim couples, considering all relevant laws.
- Mediation and divorce proceedings
Our UAE divorce lawyers are well-versed in mediating marital disputes for Muslim and non-Muslim couples and advising on U.A.E. and foreign laws. We offer compassionate and effective representation, guiding our clients through every step of the divorce proceedings and ensuring they achieve fair and equitable outcomes.
- Birth certificates
Our family lawyers assist clients with obtaining and authenticating birth certificates in Dubai. Our team ensures a smooth process, handling all legal requirements efficiently to provide you with the necessary documentation in a timely manner.
- Child custody and support
Child custody and support are often the most contentious issues in family law cases. The laws governing these types of cases differ under the U.A.E. Personal Status Law for Muslim parents compared with child custody laws for non-Muslim parents. Our family lawyers in Dubai have extensive knowledge of these laws and will provide divorcing parents with the guidance and clarity they need to navigate this difficult time.
- Custody arrangements
Custody arrangements in Dubai can vary widely depending on the specifics of each case for Muslim and non-Muslim parents. Our Dubai family lawyers work closely with clients to develop practical custody plans that comply with the relevant laws and are in the child’s best interests. Whether the arrangement involves joint or sole custody, LYLAW ensures that the terms are legally sound and beneficial for the child.
- Child support
Determining fair child support is critical for the child’s well-being. In Dubai, child support is calculated based on the parents’ incomes and the child’s needs. LYLAW’s team is skilled in negotiating and securing child support agreements that ensure children receive the necessary financial support.
- Alimony and spousal support
Alimony dictates that the husband must assist his wife financially before, during, and after a divorce or separation. Determining alimony involves assessing several factors to ensure a fair outcome. LYLAW’s lawyers are experienced in presenting strong cases for fair alimony, ensuring our client’s financial needs are met post-divorce.
