Apply for a divorce while the husband is not in the UAE
Hi,
I am an Indian national and coming to the UAE to get settled with my boyfriend.
I and my husband are currently living in the UK. But we want a divorce. My husband will stay here in the UK after I move to Dubai.
Is there any way I can apply for a divorce in the UAE if my husband is not in the UAE?
Dear questioner,
Based on the civil regulations in the UAE, the divorce should be filed against your husband in the UK due to the fact that he is living there.
But we can help you through these procedures. Your husband can notarize and attest a POA to us to be able to act on his behalf and proceed with the divorce.
If he is ready to do that, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.
Thanks!
Dear questioner,
Please clarify if your plan is to start your divorce in the UK or to start it over here as this will lead to different answers.
We can provide you with a more detailed answer on Zoom meeting for no charges if you wish.
To set a meeting please contact us via phone or WhatsApp.
Good luck!
