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.
Protect your assets, define terms, and avoid confusion later. Whether you’re planning a marriage or setting things straight after the fact, our marriage lawyers in Dubai draft clear and enforceable agreements.
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.
If you’re unsure which service fits your situation, a quick family legal consultation in Dubai can help you get clear answers.
We know this is a tough time. That’s why we keep our legal process straightforward.

Throughout the process, you’ll never be left guessing. You’ll know what to expect, what we’re doing, and what it costs—before we do it.

SKC25/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Musaab Ali AlNaqubi Law Firm in Dubai, UAE have served my family and I in amazing ways. As an American with family in the UAE, we found ourselves in a difficult situation with a young family member in Dubai. We needed legal assistance quickly. After phoning over 5 other firms, we met the criminal team at Musaab Ali AlNaqubi. They explained the details of our relative's situation and they worked hard, and afterhours, to get a release from a detention center. The necessary paperwork and procedural ins and outs was massive yet the team accomplished everything needed as quickly as possible. There were no missteps. Importantly, they truly cared about my relative. They handled the case with amazing sensitivity and so much care. We can't thank them enough. Now, I understand that they have an International Division that I will be using them for my business in the UAE and in the Middle East. I have full confidence in this amazing law firm.

Their professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and commitment to justice were evident every step of the way. They were always available to answer all my questions, which is so important for my reassurance! They explained even the most complicated legal issues in simple terms and ensured I was informed and empowered throughout the entire process. Thanks to their efforts, I not only achieved favorable results but also felt genuinely supported during a very stressful time! If you’re looking for legal representation that goes above and beyond, this is the law firm you MUST choose! They truly deliver results.
