In this situation, searching for the right Divorce Lawyer is a crucial stage as this affects the case proceedings and outcome from the very beginning.

1. CASE REGISTRATION. Our Divorce Lawyers assist in the registration of the case at the Family Guidance Section in the applicable Emirate. At this stage, our lawyers will come up with a strategy or roadmap and will determine the actions to be taken moving forward. 2. RECONCILIATION. This stage is undertaken to allow both parties to raise their concerns and try to reconcile. Although legal representatives are not involved here, we ensure that our clients do not go to conciliations unprepared by giving them proper briefing before the scheduled meeting. 3. COURT PROCEEDINGS (COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE, COURT OF APPEAL, OR COURT OF CASSATION). Court proceedings happen when the conciliation does not work. These stages take lots of defenses and counter-replies until the Judge comes up with a judgment. To date, we have successfully represented clients from all parts of the world in all Court proceedings and obtained favorable judgments. 4. EXECUTION. The Execution Court follows after any of the Court's judgment, wherever the case is finalized, to act on the verdict issued.
