How to get legal help with drafting a memo for a family case in cassation?

I need help drafting a cassation memo for submission to the Abu Dhabi Court in a family case. I already have all the documents.

Since there's no hearing at this stage, I don’t need full legal representation—just memo drafting. My ex-wife is claiming 2024–25 school fees, though child support is already granted.

First instance rejected her claim, but the appeal overturned it and ordered me to pay 16,000 AED.

I want to file a cassation due to legal errors and flawed reasoning in the appeal judgment. My budget is limited.

Dear D.,

Thank you for reaching out regarding your intention to file a cassation appeal before the Abu Dhabi Court in your family matter.

We understand that the Court of Appeal has overturned the first instance decision and obligated you to pay AED 16,000 in school fees for the academic year 2024–25, despite ongoing child support already granted.

As you rightly noted, cassation proceedings are strictly based on written submissions and legal arguments, and no hearing is held at this stage.

We specialize in drafting precise and compelling cassation memos focused on identifying legal errors, procedural violations, and weaknesses in the appellate court’s reasoning.

Based on the documents you have and the circumstances, we can assist you with:

- Comprehensive review of all court judgments and relevant documents

- Legal analysis to determine grounds for cassation (e.g., misapplication  of the law, flawed legal reasoning, or breach of procedure)

- Drafting a strong cassation memorandum in Arabic, in accordance with court formatting and submission standards

- Providing guidance on submission and timelines to ensure your appeal is filed within the legal deadline

- Given your request for limited assistance within a defined budget, we are able to offer this service as a fixed-fee engagement, covering only the drafting of the memo without full legal representation.

Please let us know your deadline and share the case documents at your earliest convenience so we can begin reviewing and confirming the grounds for cassation.

Kind regards,

Mohammad Salah

I understand you wish to challenge the Appeal Court’s order that you pay AED 16,000 in school fees, even though child support is already in place.

At the cassation stage, the judges will not reconsider facts or re-weigh evidence; they will look only at whether the appellate panel applied the law incorrectly, misunderstood the record, or exceeded its powers.

A successful memo therefore, has to:

- Identify each decisive legal error in the appeal judgment (for example, reliance on provisions that do not apply to post-divorce tuition, or misinterpretation of the earlier maintenance order);

- Demonstrate how that error alone led to the adverse result; and

- Request a specific remedy—typically quashing the fee order and reinstating the first-instance decision.

The filing deadline is usually thirty days from the date you were formally notified of the appeal judgment, and the memo must be lodged in Arabic together with certified copies of both judgments and your power of attorney.

Because you already hold all the documents and need only the drafting, I can offer a fixed-scope, fixed-fee service that fits a limited budget: we review the papers, map out the strongest grounds, prepare the cassation memo, and guide you on e-filing, without entering a full appearance.

If that approach suits you, please reach out to me on WhatsApp or call so we can discuss your timeline and agree on a fee that works for you.

I look forward to helping you overturn the order.
