حضانة الأبناء وتأشيرة إقامة الزوجة السابقة بعد الطلاق

Dear Questioner,

Pursuant to your query, I have given the answers below:

1. Regarding visa - your wife has an option to obtain a visa independently, to enable her to remain living in the UAE. This could be via full or part-time employment, or through the setting up of a free zone company.

2. Regarding the house, we need to review the divorce judgment for this.

3. Regarding custody, under articles 78, 146, and 156 of the UAE Personal Status Law, a mother would have custody of children on divorce until the boy is 11 years and the girl is 13 years. After this, custody could revert to the father if he applies for it.

Thus, the boy's custody will be with the mother, and custody of the girl will be with the father after the girl crosses 13 years of age.

You can contact us via phone or email for assistance in this regard.

Regards

Sunil
