Family & Personal Status Law Lawyers in Jeddah

When a family goes through a disagreement that reaches the point of separation or a dispute over custody or maintenance, both parties need a clear understanding of their rights and duties before making any decision. In Jeddah, where Saudi and expatriate families from many backgrounds live, some cases may involve issues such as registering a marriage contract concluded outside the Kingdom, or arrangements for children's visitation when one parent travels. The most common cases remain divorce, khula, maintenance, custody, visitation, proof of paternity and division of estates, each of which requires different documents and procedures, which the lawyer arranges according to the situation.

A personal status lawyer helps assess the position, prepare applications and memoranda, and follow the case before the personal status courts, as well as following up the enforcement of maintenance and custody judgments at the enforcement courts when needed. Many procedures can be completed electronically through Najiz.
