Legal Question in Family Law in Lebanon

Dear Madame,

We understand that you are married to a lebanese Maronite man, as per the laws of the Maronite Church.

You have a 4 years old daughter.

He is treating you badly and disrespectfuly that you are seeking divorce. You have fears that he might have custody of the kid or might abduct her.

Based on the above we would need to have some details in order to give you the proper advise:

1. Who owns the house where you are living now? If it's not you, where will you be living if he/you start a divorce case?

2. Do you fear any agresivity from his end when you start the proceedings?

3. What is the job and entries of every one of you?

Basically, the case would be raised in front of the Maronite Church.

You will ask for:

1. Divorce and compensations

2. Custody and Alimony of your kid

In parallel, you may seek to obtain a protection order from the prosecutor forbidding him to get in touch with you.

You will also need to raise a civil case in case you have common properties: house, car, bank account.

Should you need to discuss all these details kindly send us your request and queries at the following email: [email protected]
