Abu Dhabi Courts

The Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court was established in 2021 to deal with family law issues for non-Muslims. The new rules cover marriages, divorces, paternity, child custody arrangements, and inheritances – and all are now resolved under a non-Sharia process.

Our dedicated team are also specialists in Sharia Law as it’s applied in the UAE, so we can help you achieve the best outcomes to any and all your family law issues.
