Personal status cases are marked by their sensitivity and direct bearing on family life, which requires that they be handled with legal firmness and a human touch at the same time. At Salman Radad Aljuaid Law Firm, we provide specialized services in family and inheritance cases with complete confidentiality, including divorce, custody, alimony, and division of estates, while ensuring the protection of our clients' rights and the best interest of the children under the provisions of the Personal Status Law.
In these cases we are keen to favor dialogue and settlement wherever possible, to preserve whatever family ties remain, without compromising our client's statutory rights or the best interest of the children.
The Personal Status Law regulates the provisions of marriage and separation and the rights arising from them, such as alimony, custody, and guardianship. Matters of inheritance are addressed in accordance with the provisions of Islamic Sharia on which the law is based. Personal status courts hear these cases and, as far as possible, seek reconciliation and to bring viewpoints closer before adjudicating. In handling these cases, we take into account their privacy and their impact on the family, combining a keenness for the client's rights with regard for the best interest of the children.
Personal status cases require familiarity with the provisions of both Sharia and statute, and precision in preparing petitions and assessing rights such as alimony and custody fees. We take into account the particular circumstances of each case, as no two situations are ever exactly alike, which calls for handling that attends to the fine details of each family.
A personal status case begins by filing the suit before the competent personal status court, which may be preceded or accompanied by reconciliation and family-guidance sessions seeking an amicable settlement. In inheritance matters, deeds of inventory of heirs are issued, then the lawful shares are determined and the estate is divided, whether by mutual agreement or through the courts in the event of disagreement. We are careful to prepare the necessary documents, represent our client in the sessions, and follow up the case until judgment is issued and enforced.
We are keen to prepare our clients for the stages of the case and its requirements, and to give a realistic picture of the rights that can be secured and the expected timeframes. In inheritance cases we give particular attention to the accuracy of the inventory of heirs and the assessment of shares, to avoid any subsequent dispute among members of a single family.
