Divorce Lawyer in Dubai: When to appoint one?

Another common question we received regularly. Actually, the best time to appoint a family lawyer in Dubai is not after you file your case, or not even before you file your family case but it’s actually much better to do it before you marry.

The marriage contract is like any other contract it secures one of the parties when uncertainty occurs and potential of litigation signs in the future. The Dubai Family laws which are called the Personal status law gives the parties the chance to include in the marriage contract any terms and conditions as far as it does not contradict public morals. So many family disputes could be just avoided if the marriage contract was clear in its own terms and conditions. There is plenty of legal adviser in Dubai who could advise their client about such terms and conditions and how it should be implemented taking into account that the pre-nuptial agreements are not recognized under UAE laws including such terms and condition in the marriage contract could be a safe option.

How to appoint a divorce lawyer in Dubai?

Appointing divorce lawyers in Dubai does not have to be done through signing the contract unless it includes court disputes. But getting advice from the family lawyer in Dubai could be done easily by attending through the lawyer’s office or through skype or email. Getting advice from a lawyer does not require to sign Power of Attorney or even to have a face to face meeting with the lawyer.

At our office, we don’t consider our self as a divorce lawyer but actually, we consider our self as family lawyers. Because we believe that our role is not to help in breaking family through the divorce but to help both parties and their kids to have better-secured environment.
