Divorce procedures in Dubai
Need advice on likelihood of losing the kids. I sponsor my wife and kids, am the sole breadwinner, sole parent in many ways. Any poor gits with similar painful experience, please share solutions.

Re: Divorce procedures in Dubai
Hi Clergy this is sad news indeed 
No way of reconciliation? I don't know much about divorce here in the UAE but I had a friend who divorced here. There were children involved but they agreed on joint custody of the children. There were no financial assets in the marriage so it was quite straight forward and if I remember rightly they used James Berry and Associates to handle things. As for you sponsoring your wife, once you are divorced you will no longer be able to do so. In situations like this the wife normally returns to the UK or 'home' wherever that may be.
Alternatively she could get a job and get sponsorship and sponsor the children etc. I suppose the other way round it is not to mention that you are divorced and continue sponsoring her? not exactly legal though and it could lead to complications if either of you were to meet someone else
Hope you get things sorted out.

Apparently if you married in Uk then UK divorce law will apply so really same procedure as would have happened if you were at home.

Re: Divorce procedures in Dubai
she probably is until it runs out, when it comes for renewing it might get a bit tricky. Like I said if you don't admit your divorced how will they know?
