Family Lawyers
At Alramsy advocates, our family lawyers team provides discreet, practical, and client-focused family law support — helping individuals and families in Dubai and across the UAE handle divorce, child custody, maintenance, and sensitive personal status matters with clear guidance and strong legal representation.
Overview of Our Legal Family services
Family disputes in Dubai can quickly become legal, financial, and parenting emergencies—especially when divorce, child custody, travel, or maintenance is involved. A family lawyer helps you understand which legal route applies in the UAE, protect your position from the start, and avoid mistakes that can affect custody outcomes, settlement leverage, or enforceability.
At Al Ramsy Advocates & Legal Consultants, we provide discreet, UAE-specific representation for divorce and separation, child custody and visitation, maintenance and financial support, marital agreements, and cross-border family matters. Our approach is practical and structured: we assess risk early, prepare your documents properly, pursue settlement where possible, and represent you firmly before the courts when required—backed by licensed UAE advocates and long-standing dispute resolution experience.
What Our Arbitration Services Cover?
1. Divorce and Separation
We advise and represent clients in both amicable divorces and contested separation proceedings, helping you choose the safest legal route, protect your rights, and reach outcomes that are realistic and enforceable under UAE law.

3. Maintenance and Financial Support
We handle spousal and child maintenance matters, advising on financial support, housing, and education expenses, and ensuring that claims or defenses are supported by proper evidence.
5. Marriage Contracts and Marital Agreements

4. Financial Settlements and Property Issues

What is Arbitration in the UAE Law?
The UAE’s arbitration framework is primarily governed by Federal Law No. 6 of 2018 on Arbitration, which modernised the dispute resolution landscape and aligned domestic procedures with international best practices. The law provides a clear structure for arbitration agreements, tribunal formation, hearings, interim measures, and award enforcement—making the UAE one of the region’s leading arbitration hubs. Businesses and investors rely on this robust legislation for efficient, confidential, and enforceable dispute resolution.
- Based on UNCITRAL Model Law, ensuring global compatibility and streamlined procedures.
- Recognises and enforces both domestic and foreign arbitral awards.
- Allows hearings to be held physically or remotely, enhancing flexibility.
- Empowers tribunals to grant interim measures to protect rights during proceedings.
- Ensures that arbitration agreements remain valid even if the underlying contract is challenged.

Insights
Legal Family Services- Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a family lawyer before starting divorce proceedings?
Yes—speaking early can prevent avoidable mistakes, protect your position on children and finances, and help you decide the safest route (settlement vs court). Early advice is especially important if travel, relocation, or maintenance is likely to become disputed.
How long does divorce take in Dubai?
Yes—speaking early can prevent avoidable mistakes, protect your position on children and finances, and help you decide the safest route (settlement vs court). Early advice is especially important if travel, relocation, or maintenance is likely to become disputed.
How are child custody and visitation issues handled?
Custody and visitation decisions depend on the child’s circumstances and the practical ability of each parent to provide stability and care. We help you present your case clearly, propose workable arrangements, and avoid positions that look unrealistic on paper.
I’m an expatriate—does my home country law apply?
Some expatriate cases involve foreign law arguments, but they must be raised properly and supported with correct documentation, translation, and procedural steps. We advise you on the route that is most likely to be accepted and enforced in Dubai.
Can we settle privately without going to court?
In many cases, yes. A properly drafted settlement can reduce conflict, protect children, and provide clear financial terms. The key is to ensure the agreement is drafted in a form that is reliable and enforceable.
What should I bring to a first consultation with a family lawyer?
Bring what you have—don’t delay because the file is not “perfect.” Useful items include:
Marriage certificate and IDs (passport/Emirates ID)
Children’s documents (if relevant)
Proof of income and main expenses
Key messages or written communications relevant to the dispute
Any existing agreements or foreign orders
We will tell you what else is needed after the initial review.
