Family & Personal Status Law

Because the UAE places family relationships above all else, family and personal status law demands careful analysis, thorough understanding, and an adviser with long local and international experience in resolving complex and sensitive family disputes.

At Hassan Al Ali Advocates & Legal Consultancy we apply our experience and skill at every stage of representing our family law clients. Our specialist team has extensive experience in negotiation, advocacy and the resolution of critical family disputes for both UAE nationals and expatriate clients under the Personal Status Law. By discussing each case in detail with the client and applying a practical approach, we formulate the strategy best suited to resolving the matter.

Our practitioners advise on divorce and marriage proceedings, spousal, partner and child matters, actions brought to establish paternity, child custody, parental access, the award or waiver of maintenance, adoption, inheritance and immigration matters.

Our family lawyers also advise clients on estate planning and administration, charitable giving, reputation management, marital settlement agreements, and both pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.

Our specialist family law team works alongside forensic accountants, business valuation experts, therapists, counsellors, social workers and psychologists in order to protect our clients' rights as effectively as possible.

The depth of our lawyers' knowledge and their focus on both international and domestic family law, as well as the Personal Status Law, has given them an exceptional record in handling family law matters in Dubai.
