Overview
In the UAE, family-law matters reflect both civil and Sharia frameworks: the Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 on Personal Status governs Muslim-married couples, while the Personal Status Law for Non-Muslims (2021) provides a statutory alternative for non-Muslim expatriate families. Issues covered include marriage, divorce, child-custody, inheritance, succession, pre-nuptial/post-nuptial agreements, cross-jurisdictional families, wills and wealth-succession planning.
With the UAE’s large expatriate community, cross-border enforcement and multi-legal-system implications are common, requiring sensitive, culturally-informed and legally rigorous advice.
