Divorce of former expats in the UAE after leaving
What is the separation process in the UAE for expats (Divorce) when both are not residing in the country anymore?

Dear Questioner,
Thanks for contacting online.
Either of the spouses can approach the family court and file an application to get a divorce.
But even though they are not available in the UAE currently, both of them should have a valid visa here.
Once you file an application before the court, there will be a counselling for both of the parties as an attempt and trial to have a reunion.
If the counselling also fails, the court will decide the matter according to the evidence available before the court.
Please feel free to contact me on 0556635526 or on WhatsApp 0508475526 or at ar@alnassaradvocates.com if you need any further explanation or clarification.
