Can my wife move out with my 2 small kids before I file for divorce?

It's best for her to stay, but if she is being harmed or hurt by her husband, she can leave the house with her children.

We can help you file a lawsuit to return the wife to the marital home “obedience warning”.

She cannot request divorce unless the legal reasons for it are verified, such as divorce for harm or divorce for desertion.

For further assistance, you can reach out to us through WhatsApp

Dear Inquirer

We are pleased to serve you and address your inquiries.

It is not permissible for the wife to leave the marital home without a legitimate reason, and the husband has the right to request that she return to the legitimate residence.

If anything else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or call our offices in Dubai or Sharjah.

Dear Questioner,

Thanks for your inquiry.

According to UAE law, a wife can move out with her children before filing for divorce if she has a valid reason to do so, such as domestic violence or abuse.

However, she must inform the court and obtain permission from the judge before leaving the marital home.

If she leaves without informing the court, she may face legal consequences. It is advisable to consult with us before making any decisions.

Kindly feel free to contact us by phone or email.

Greetings,

Hello,

Moving out of a wife and 2 children before filing a divorce can be mostly influenced by Sharia law and children's best interest, especially if both are Muslim expats in the UAE.
