Frequently Asked Questions
Child custody in Dubai is governed by UAE Personal Status Law (Federal Law No. 28 of 2005). Generally, mothers are granted physical custody of children up to a certain age (11 for boys, 13 for girls), while fathers retain guardianship. However, courts consider the best interests of the child above all else. Factors include the parents financial stability, moral character, ability to care for the child, and the child own preferences if old enough.
