Prenuptial Agreements
At Ahmad Abdulla Ahli Advocates and Legal Consultants, we assist clients in drafting, reviewing, and enforcing prenuptial agreements in accordance with UAE personal status law. A prenuptial agreement (or "marriage contract") offers couples a clear and legally sound way to define financial rights, asset division, and obligations in the event of separation or divorce—helping to reduce future conflict and protect both parties’ interests.
Led by Mr. Ahmad Abdulla Ahli, a courtroom advocate with over 27 years of experience, our firm ensures that prenuptial agreements are prepared with full legal enforceability and aligned with the client’s cultural, religious, and legal context. We advise both Muslim and non-Muslim clients, including expatriates, on the best approach based on UAE laws and applicable foreign legal considerations.
Whether you are entering into marriage, planning a civil union, or seeking to update an existing agreement, our team provides guidance with confidentiality, fairness, and foresight.
