UK & UAE Family Law Services

Navigating family legal matters can be a very sensitive area and when it comes to issues within the family unit, it is imperative to seek specialist advice. Our dedicated Family Lawyers at James Berry & Associates are here to listen to you and guide you. Whether you’re facing challenges in the UAE, UK, or internationally, our team collaborates directly with you, understanding your unique circumstances, managing expectations, and offering tailored advice. While the process of divorce itself may seem straightforward, our Family Lawyers specialise in addressing the complexities of financial settlements, property division, and matters involving children which may prove to be especially difficult.

Our Family Lawyers can deal with straightforward divorces with minimal assets to divorce settlements involving the most complex circumstances and high value assets. Proceed with confident guidance with us as we aim to get the best settlement for you and your family.

Our experienced Family Lawyers bring over two decades of expertise across various jurisdictions, including the UK and UAE, handling issues ranging from Divorce and High Net Worth cases to financial allocation, separation, property disputes, and child-related matters with international elements.

Divorce

Divorce or separation is a challenging journey, and we believe in fostering a less adversarial approach for the benefit of the entire family. Embracing collaborative law practices, our team encourages parties to resolve issues without contentious court proceedings, crafting agreements and presenting them to the court only when mutually agreed upon. This approach fosters a more amicable outcome.

Collaborative work between parties and legal representatives is essential for achieving case resolution without contention and costly court proceedings. Working with our clients, our first step is to establish an agreement among the parties. Once the document is agreed, only then do we consult the court for processing. This way, the divorce can be dealt with amicably.e.

Our Family Lawyers, trusted members of the Law Society of England and Wales and the Legal Affairs Department of Dubai, ensure you’re in safe hands, offering guidance aligned with both the UAE and home country laws.

Pre & Post Nuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement is a contract between two parties before marriage. A postnuptial contract is signed after marriage, applicable to the years that follow. In many jurisdictions, including the UAE, we have seen an increasing demand for advice related to pre and post nuptial contracts. This is most common in circumstances where there is a disparity of wealth between two parties.

Planning for the future? Do you need to have a prenuptial agreement? Our Family Lawyers work closely with clients to create prenuptial and postnuptial agreements tailored to their personal needs. Beyond financial matters, these agreements encompass various aspects, including standards of living, expectations, welfare of the children and the protection of personal or sentimental possessions. Our Family Lawyers are able to advise on internationally informed components of a prenuptial agreement, considering your nationality and religion. With a focus on mutual agreement, our team work together with the future spouse and their lawyers to produce a document that suits both parties’ needs and requirements.

Advice on International Adoptions

Adoption is not possible for expatriates within the UAE. However, if an adoption takes place outside of the UAE, this will be recognised as long as all the necessary processes and laws are followed within the country in question.

For those navigating international adoptions, our Family Lawyers offer guidance on the process, from dealing with adoptions in the child’s home country to advising on necessary documents to enable an adopted child to reside in the UAE. We provide legal advice, draft required documents, and assist with residence visas for the adopted child, ensuring a smooth transition.
