Family & Personal Status Law Lawyers in Al Khobar
Al Khobar is home to Saudi families and expatriate families of many nationalities, which can give rise to personal status cases requiring particular care, such as mixed marriages, proving a marriage contract registered in another country, or travel arrangements for children in custody. Alongside these, the usual cases such as divorce, khula, maintenance, custody and estates remain the most in demand. Each type of case requires different documents and procedures, and documents issued outside the Kingdom may need attestation or certified translation; the lawyer will explain what is required in each case.
These cases are heard by the personal status courts, and many applications can be submitted and followed electronically through Najiz. The lawyer takes care to explain the expected course to the client, and to explore the possibility of reconciliation through the services offered by the Ministry of Justice where this is in the family's interest.
