Family lawyers in Dubai: your trusted partners for legal solutions
Navigating family law matters can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. At Rubert & Partners, we understand the delicate balance of compassion and expertise required to support our clients through these pivotal moments. As experienced family lawyers in Dubai, we are here to provide clear guidance and robust legal representation tailored to your unique needs.
Why choose Rubert & Partners for family law matters?
With over a decade of experience in the UAE, our team is well-versed in local family laws, including Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024 on Personal Status, which replaced Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 on 15 April 2025, and Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022 on Civil Personal Status for non-Muslims.
Whether you’re facing challenges related to divorce, custody arrangements, or prenuptial agreements, our multilingual legal team offers strategic advice grounded in empathy and expertise.

The UAE gives families from different backgrounds more than one legal route: Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, which is based on Sharia, and civil personal status law for non-Muslims under Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2022 or, in Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Law No. 14 of 2021. Non-Muslims can also register wills with the DIFC Courts or the ADGM Courts, but neither court hears divorce or custody cases. Our team specializes in helping expats understand how these legal systems intersect, ensuring your case proceeds smoothly and efficiently.
