Facing family disputes or divorce in Dubai? You’re not alone.
Family matters can take a toll on you—mentally, emotionally, and financially. When legal challenges pile up, it’s not just the law you’re dealing with. It’s your children, your finances, and your peace of mind. In the UAE, things get trickier with different laws for Muslims, non-Muslims, and expats.
We’re here to simplify what feels overwhelming.
Our team of family lawyers in Dubai is experienced in handling sensitive matters, like divorce, child custody, and alimony, while helping you stay calm and in control. Whether you’re a resident or expat, Muslim or non-Muslim, you’ll get guidance that fits your case and protects your future.
UAE family law isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that makes expert help essential.
If you’re going through a separation or custody issue, it’s not just a matter of emotion—it’s also about understanding how the law works in Dubai. The UAE uses both Sharia and civil law systems, which apply differently depending on your religion and nationality.
For Muslim couples, Sharia law plays a bigger role. For non-Muslim or expat families, civil law might be more relevant, but even that’s applied through UAE courts.
Then there’s the issue of jurisdiction. What if you’re from the UK, married in the Philippines, and living in Dubai? What law applies to your divorce? What about your children’s custody?
Without the right legal help, you could miss important deadlines or risk losing rights you didn’t even know you had.
This is why many people choose to work with experienced family court lawyers in Dubai.
We help you:
Family lawyers in Dubai offer legal help for divorce, custody, and more. We cover a full range of family law services to support you from start to finish.
Here’s what we offer:
Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, our divorce lawyers in Dubai guide you through it clearly and respectfully. We handle expat and local cases and protect your rights every step of the way.
Custody decisions can deeply affect your child’s future. Our child custody lawyers in Dubai work hard to create fair agreements that put your child’s wellbeing first—while ensuring your parental rights are respected.
Spousal support, property division, or financial disputes—we’ll represent your interests with honesty and care. You’ll understand what’s fair, what’s possible, and how to get there.

From formal guardianship rights to adoption filings, we provide legal advice and documentation support that ensures everything is done according to UAE family court procedures.
Sometimes, going to court isn’t the answer. We offer family mediation to help both parties find common ground, especially when children are involved.

We know this is a tough time. That’s why we keep our legal process straightforward.

Lakshmi Menon Partner, Menon & Mankava, Advocates Muneer Berika29/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Musaab Ali ALNaqbi Advocates & Legal Consultant, led by Adv. Ibrahim Khaleel. They provided excellent service in resolving a pending insurance claim for my sister-in-law relative, who passed away in an accident in India. Despite initial issues with the father’s name mismatch, the team worked diligently and the case was successfully resolved through the court. Special thanks to Legal Assistant Zainab for her quick responses and updates, and to Harshita and Moez for their professional support throughout the process. Highly recommend their services! N E27/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Basit (Legal Assistant) has proven to be an asset to the firm and was pivotal to the success of my eviction case. Overtime, what I believed would be a simple case became more complex. His dedication to ensure I received the best service and remained well informed (even during his vacation) made an overall stressful experience manageable. The effort and service received means that I would work with him again, in turn the firm. Also, another highlight identified was that the written memos delivered to the courts by Moaz and Hassan (both Lawyers) during my eviction case were succint and showed a strong knowledge of Dubai law. I was pleased as I relied heavily on the approach to the courts being appropriate because as a native English UAE resident I do not speak or understand Arabic.
