طلاق الوافدين في دولة الإمارات بينما الزوجة خارج البلاد

Dear Questioner,

As ex-pats in the UAE, whether Muslims or non-Muslims, you must file for divorce before the UAE Courts.

The procedures must start at the conciliation dept. and in case there is no room for settlement between the parties and the divorce is a decided matter, then the counselor refers the subject to the family courts who takes the statement of both parties and registers the divorce.

For this smooth procedure to happen, it will require the attendance of both parties.

Otherwise, if you remain outside of the UAE, your husband has the right to file a case against you for divorce based on the damage he has - that you left him - and notify you through courier or to your latest known address inside the UAE.

It may take 3-6 months to get a divorce verdict because of the related procedures but we have done it before and we can assist you and him to make it happen.

You can get in touch with me privately through email.
