Can I finalize our divorce in the UAE while my wife is in her country?

Hello,

If you both agree to divorce and your wife is not in the UAE, it's important to determine whether you wish to proceed under UAE law or under the laws of Tunisia or Egypt.

Since both of you are from different countries, you can mutually agree to file for divorce based on either Egyptian or Tunisian law, but the UAE will have specific procedures if you wish to finalize the divorce there.

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry!

As you and your wife are currently residing in the UAE and have agreed to divorce, here are the steps you can take:

1. Divorce Process in the UAE:

Since you both agree on the divorce and there are no children involved, you can proceed with a mutual consent divorce under UAE law.

As you are both residents in the UAE, the divorce will be handled through the UAE courts.

2. Does Your Wife Need to Be in the UAE?

- Physical Presence:

Your wife does not need to be in the UAE for the divorce process to proceed. You can handle the proceedings remotely, provided that both parties agree to the divorce and sign the necessary documents.

- Consent and Documents:

You will need to submit documents such as the marriage certificate, a written agreement confirming the mutual consent for the divorce, and copies of both your and your wife’s identification (e.g., passport and residency permit).

Additionally, if your wife is unable to be present in the UAE, she may sign a power of attorney allowing a lawyer to represent her in the UAE courts.

3. Remote Divorce Handling:

You can engage a UAE lawyer to represent both parties in the divorce process. The lawyer will handle the submission of documents, court hearings, and ensure that all necessary legal formalities are met.

If required, your wife can provide her written consent and sign documents remotely. These can be sent to you or your lawyer for submission to the UAE courts.

4. Considerations Regarding Recognition in Tunisia:

Since you are both from different countries, it’s advisable to confirm that the divorce will be recognized in Tunisia.

This typically requires the submission of the divorce certificate to the relevant authorities in Tunisia. However, the UAE court will handle the divorce process, and it is usually accepted internationally, provided that both parties consent.

You and your wife can proceed with the divorce without her being physically present in the UAE. I recommend that you engage us in the UAE to assist with the legal formalities, ensure all documents are submitted, and represent you in court if necessary.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance or clarification. I am here to help you navigate through the divorce process efficiently.

Best regards,
