Legal guardianship and parental rights are essential pillars of family law, especially when addressing the care, custody, and upbringing of children. At Kayrouz & Associates, we guide parents, relatives, and legal representatives through the legal frameworks that govern guardianship in the UAE and broader Middle East.
Our lawyers assist in establishing guardianship arrangements that reflect the best interests of the child, whether through mutual agreement or court proceedings. We advise on both physical custody (day-to-day care) and legal custody (decision-making authority), and help resolve disputes where parents disagree on key issues such as education, travel, or healthcare.
We are particularly experienced in complex guardianship matters, including those involving incapacitated parents, inheritance planning, or international families. Our team ensures that any arrangement complies with Sharia principles where applicable and is recognised by the appropriate legal and governmental bodies.
