The UAE has introduced another major step toward a more modern, efficient, and family-focused justice system.

The Federal Judicial Council has announced five new regulatory bylaws designed to streamline personal status procedures, enhance digital services, and strengthen child protection mechanisms.

Key areas of reform include:

faster and more transparent family law processes

standardized, user-friendly personal status procedures

expanded digital court and judicial services

enhanced child protection frameworks

These reforms aim to create a smoother, faster, and more accessible family justice system aligned with the needs of today's society. As a Dubai-based legal consultancy firm we find it essential to highlight these updates to my clients, as they may have a direct impact on various areas such as marriage procedures, divorce, custody, guardianship, and other personal status matters.
