Document background
The Clean Break Agreement is a crucial document in UAE divorce proceedings, designed to achieve a final settlement of all financial matters between divorcing spouses. It becomes relevant when parties wish to formally conclude their financial relationship and prevent future claims against each other's assets or income. The agreement must carefully balance UAE Federal Law requirements, Sharia principles, and the practical needs of the parties. It typically includes comprehensive details about asset division, property transfers, financial obligations, and mutual releases. This document is particularly important in the UAE context where the legal system combines civil law with Sharia principles, requiring careful consideration of both frameworks. The agreement should be drafted with attention to local enforceability requirements, including proper notarization and potential court ratification processes specific to the UAE jurisdiction.
