Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that you can apply for divorce for harm and prove it by all means of proof, including witnesses’ testimony and in case of the validity of your claim you will get a divorce. And regarding the custody of the child, it shall be for the mother and legal age determined by the text of the following article of the UAE Personal Status Law as follows:

Article (156)

1. The right of women to fosterage of a child shall end upon his reaching the age of eleven years, if a male, and thirteen years, if a female, unless the court deems that extending this age to the age of maturity, for the male, and up to her marriage, for the female, is in his/her best interest.

2. Unless the interest of the fostered child otherwise require, the women fosterage shall continue in case the child is of unsound mind or suffering of a disabling illness.
