Tell us briefly about your family-law matter and how we may contact you. Your details are handled under the Privacy Policy. Sending this form does not create a lawyer–client relationship.
Please do not upload passports, Emirates IDs, children’s identity documents, intimate evidence, complete financial records or original documents. If a document is needed to understand your enquiry, attach one only, and send anything further through a secure route agreed with the office.
Family matters are heard across the seven Emirates, and the practical experience differs depending on where the case is filed.
These pages describe what to expect in each Emirate: which court usually hears family cases there, the issues that come up most often locally, and the documents commonly requested. They are a starting point for understanding the local process, not a statement about the outcome of any case.
Emirates covered
Dubai
Divorce, custody and family disputes filed in Dubai, and how matters usually progress there.
Abu Dhabi
Divorce and civil family matters in Abu Dhabi, including the separate civil family track.
Ras Al Khaimah
Family matters before the RAK courts and how local procedure works.
Where a case can be filed is a legal question that depends on residence, registration and the parties involved. It is not simply a matter of choosing a preferred Emirate.
