About our international law blog

  • This site tracks developments in international family law. By John Crouch, Attorney at Thyden, Gross & Callahan, LLP. Until recently I practiced with Richard Edelin Crouch, now retired, in Arlington, Virginia. Our international practice grew naturally from our location in our native Arlington, where our clients include many military, diplomatic and immigrant families, international organization employees, IT professionals, etc. This blog's purpose is to comment on the ongoing development of the law, and help other lawyers, journalists and the public understand individual cases. These postings do not provide a comprehensive description of the law. In fact, they will surely contain statements that were true at the time but have become less valid as the law continues to develop.

Abu Dhabi creates family laws and bilingual family courts for non-Muslims

The new laws allow joint custody, equitable financial orders in divorces, civil marriage, and Western-style wills. They only affect Abu Dhabi, not the rest of the United Arab Emirates.
