Jurisdiction of the UAE courts in a divorce case if one party is abroad
Please, can you let me know if the UAE courts would have jurisdiction in a divorce case for a British non-Muslim UAE resident with a UAE residency visa?
The other party is a not a UAE resident nor a Muslim and has never had a UAE residency visa, but has visited the UAE on a visit visa 12 months ago and has issued (but not yet served) a divorce petition in the UK?
And does it matter when the divorce petition issued in the UK is served to the UAE resident? Will it make any difference if it is served before or after they file for divorce in the UAE?
عزيزي السائل،
في حالة عدم وجود تأشيرة إقامة لأحد الزوجين، فلا يمكن رفع قضية في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة.
إذا تم رفع قضية بالفعل في المملكة المتحدة، فمن الواضح أن المحاكم هنا لن تنظر قضية جديدة.
مع التحية،
