Document background
The Post Divorce Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal document used in the UAE to formalize and document the final arrangements between divorced parties following the dissolution of their marriage. This agreement is particularly important in the UAE legal context, where it must align with Federal Law No. 28 of 2005 (Personal Status Law) and potentially Sharia principles. The document serves as a comprehensive settlement of all matters arising from the divorce, including property division, financial arrangements, child custody and support (if applicable), and any ongoing obligations between the former spouses. It's typically prepared after the divorce decree is issued but before final settlement of marital affairs, and may require court validation depending on specific circumstances. The agreement helps prevent future disputes by clearly documenting all agreed terms and can be especially complex in the UAE due to the interaction between civil law, Sharia law, and international law considerations for expatriate residents.
