The divorce process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking divorce attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Burbank.
1
Initial Consultation & Case Assessment
We review your situation including the marriage, assets, children, and any Islamic marriage contracts (mahr). We explain your options under state law and develop a strategy that respects both your legal rights and cultural values.
2
Filing the Petition
We file the divorce petition in the appropriate court, establishing grounds for divorce and requesting temporary orders if needed (custody, support, restraining orders). Your spouse is formally served with the papers.
3
Discovery & Negotiation
Both sides exchange financial information and negotiate terms. This includes property division, custody arrangements, child support, and alimony. We advocate for fair treatment of mahr and Islamic contract terms within the American legal framework.
4
Settlement or Trial
Most cases settle through negotiation or mediation. If agreement cannot be reached, the case goes to trial where a judge decides. We prepare thoroughly for both outcomes and present your case with cultural competence.
