Overview
When one party lives outside the UAE or the family’s assets are spread across countries, maintenance and the division of money become more complex: which court sets maintenance, and how is a judgment enforced against income or assets abroad? We help you make proper disclosure, assess your rights and choose the route that makes a judgment or settlement enforceable where the money actually is.
