If you and your spouse are considering divorce in the UAE, it's possible to legally outline your financial responsibilities before filing.
You can create a contract that details how living expenses, such as rent and utilities, will be shared. This agreement should be mutually agreed upon, defining the rights and obligations of both parties.
To make it legally binding, the contract must include key elements: mutual agreement, a defined subject matter, and a lawful purpose. Once finalized, this agreement can be submitted to the Personal Status Court as part of your divorce proceedings. The court will review the contract according to UAE law, ensuring it adheres to the necessary legal standards before issuing a judgment.
This approach helps clarify financial responsibilities and ensures a smoother transition during the divorce process.
