Hassan TamimAdvocates & Legal Consultants

Female Lawyers in Dubai

Women advocates for divorce, custody, domestic abuse and other personal matters, for clients who would prefer to discuss their case with a woman.

In short: HT Lawyers has female advocates and legal consultants in Dubai who handle divorce, child custody, maintenance, domestic abuse complaints and other personal matters before the Dubai Courts. Any client can ask for a woman advocate at the first contact, and the same advocate stays with the case through to judgment.

Many clients, especially women, find it easier to explain a marriage breakdown, abuse or a family conflict to a woman. The law and the court process are the same; what changes is how comfortable the client is sharing the details the case depends on.

Cases Our Female Lawyers Handle

Divorce and separation

Mutual and contested divorce for Muslim and non-Muslim clients, including khula, and the choice between UAE law and home-country law for expatriates. See our divorce lawyers.

Child custody and maintenance

Custody, visitation, school and travel disputes, and claims for child and spousal maintenance and housing. See our child custody lawyers.

Domestic abuse and protection

Complaints of domestic violence under Federal Decree-Law No. 10 of 2019 on Protection from Domestic Violence, which allows the Public Prosecution and courts to issue protection orders. We help clients record evidence and find safe accommodation and support services.

Other personal matters

Harassment, online abuse and defamation, inheritance, and guardianship of children. See our defamation lawyers and wills and guardianship lawyers.

What to Expect at the First Meeting

  1. You can meet at our office, by video call or by phone, in English, Arabic, Hindi or Urdu.
  2. Your advocate listens first, then explains your options under UAE law, the likely timeline and the costs.
  3. You leave with a written list of documents to gather and the next step.

Everything you share is confidential. Sending an enquiry does not create a lawyer–client relationship until an engagement letter is signed.

If You Are at Risk

If you or your children are in immediate danger, call the emergency services on 999 first. Then speak to a lawyer about a protection order and your options for divorce and custody. Leaving the home or the country with the children without advice can affect the custody case, so take advice as early as possible.
