Overview
A UAE judgment on divorce, custody or maintenance is not automatically enforced in another country. Each country has its own rules on recognising and enforcing foreign judgments, and bilateral or regional treaties may make this easier. We prepare the judgment and its documents to the requirements of the country concerned and work with local lawyers to follow the procedure through to enforcement.
