How Alimony Works Under UAE Law

Alimony in the UAE refers to spousal maintenance or support that one spouse may be required to pay the other during or after a marriage ends. Under the UAE Personal Status Law (for Muslims) and the Civil Personal Status Law (for non-Muslims), a former husband can be ordered to pay support covering necessities such as housing, clothing, medical care and basic living expenses.

For example, under the new Federal Decree-Law No. 41 of 2024, Article 49 sets out that the husband is obliged to pay alimony to his wife and Article 95 defines what alimony includes: “food, clothing, housing, treatment, education” as is customary.

For non-Muslim couples the Civil Personal Status Law also provides for alimony after divorce, taking into account marriage duration, age of the ex-wife, financial status of both parties and any moral or financial harm.

Why You Need an Alimony Lawyer in Dubai

Whether you are seeking support or defending a claim, choosing a best alimony lawyer or an experienced alimony attorney in Dubai ensures your rights are properly represented. A skilled lawyer handles key issues such as: what evidence is needed to support or contest alimony, how the court assesses the husband’s capacity and the wife’s needs, and whether an agreement can be negotiated outside court. Under UAE law alimony may be subject to review or enforcement—including freezing assets or travel bans if payments are not made.
