2- Does UAE family law apply to assets held in other countries?

If the parties agree to a property division agreement, this agreement is only considered for assets situated in the UAE. Assets held in other countries are not subject to UAE family law proceedings unless the parties agree that the applicable foreign law will be applied by the UAE court.

3- How do families differ in UAE?

A family in the UAE might include grandparents, parents, children, and siblings who all live together. The father is regarded as the family’s leader and has the most authority. While women are respected, they usually live separate lives from men.
