I am a British-qualified family lawyer based in the UAE. I trained as a corporate lawyer and spent years in litigation in London with Herbert Smith Freehills before finding my way into family law. A graduate of the London School of Economics (LLB, Law), my work now focuses on divorce, financial settlements, children matters, and cross‑border family disputes involving jurisdictions such as the UK, Europe, Australia, and South Asia.
Over time, I noticed the same problem repeating itself: people making irreversible decisions based on fear, online myths, or advice that simply does not apply to their situation.
The Divorce Diaries was created to bridge that gap, between legal reality and emotional chaos.
This platform explains how the law actually operates in the UAE, while acknowledging the emotional and cultural pressures that accompany separation here.
I write for people who want clarity, structure and the space to make sound decisions under pressure.
