Non-Muslim expatriate residents can file for divorce in their home country (domicile) or apply for divorce in the UAE.

If the parties wish to have the law of their home country applied, they may petition for this before the court. Article 1 of the Federal Law No 28 of 2005 for Personal Affairs states: The provisions of this Law shall apply on citizens of the United Arab Emirates State unless non-Muslims among them have special provisions applicable to their community or confession. They shall equally apply to non-citizens unless one of them asks for the application of his law.

This means that both parties may ask to apply their own laws to personal status matters.

 Whenever the law of the parties' home country fails to cover an aspect of the divorce procedure, the courts hold discretion to apply the UAE law.
If the divorce was in accordance with the rules of the UAE Personal Status Law, which derives from Islamic Shaari'a, if he wanted a divorce, then the woman's refusal to divorce would not prevent him from that
If the husband wants to divorce, and the wife does not want that, then in this case, the divorce will not be by mutual consent between the two parties.
If a divorce is contested between the two parties, or if the divorce is difficult and contested between the two parties, the family counselor will submit a referral letter with the request, to allow them to appear before the court to conclude the divorce case. Here it is advised to use a lawyer.
Regarding alimony: According to Emirati law, a divorced woman may claim alimony (this is subject to the laws of the country that gives her the right to that alimony until she remarries),
Compensation if her husband had not spent on her in the last year of marriage, and compensation for moral damage that she suffered as a result of her divorce.
