Because some battles are not resolved in court…
but are prevented before they begin.
At
Al Wasl Legal Group, we believe that the law isn’t just a tool for managing conflict—it’s a tool for preventing it.
That’s why we offer the Drafting of Private Family Agreements service—one of the most intelligent legal tools to prevent disputes before they arise, or to dismantle conflict without litigation, through a respectful approach that safeguards dignity and protects both parties.
Family Agreements Documentation – Structuring the marital relationship before or after marriage with clarity that protects rights and prevents conflict
In today’s fast-changing social and economic landscape, marriage is no longer just a spiritual bond built solely on good intentions.
In many cases, it now involves financial rights, personal commitments, and future responsibilities that require clear planning and mutual understanding.
The law recognizes contractual freedom within the marital relationship—provided it doesn’t violate public order or religious principles—and allows couples to create written agreements outlining their rights and responsibilities, whether pre- or post-marriage.
At Al Wasl Law Firm, we provide comprehensive drafting and notarization of family agreements, treating these documents as highly sensitive legal instruments that help establish long-term stability in the marriage, while respecting the free will of both parties and ensuring no essential rights are compromised.
Our Process Begins With:
In-depth understanding of the couple’s relationship and their mutual agreement to address key issues such as:
• Alimony
• Housing
• Shared financial management
• Childcare responsibilities
• Separation terms
• Dispute resolution mechanisms
In some cases, agreements may focus on handling pre-marital assets, joint business management, or clearly defining each party’s duties to prevent misunderstandings or future disputes.
We draft these agreements in clear, enforceable legal language, free of ambiguity or excessive rigidity.
We ensure the contracts are legally valid, avoid null and void clauses, and comply with Islamic law and public order, especially avoiding unlawful waivers—such as for mandatory alimony or child custody.
Official Documentation
Once the agreement is finalized, we proceed to notarize it before the competent authorities—whether the Real Estate Registry (Notary Public) or as part of a notarized marriage contract, depending on what the law requires.
We may also record it as part of the official marriage documentation, or maintain it as an independent binding contract that can be used as evidence in court in case of future disputes.
In the event of a conflict, the client has the right to invoke the agreement with us or pursue legal action.
We then present the agreement as a binding contract, submit supporting legal briefs, and argue the case before the Family Court or even the Economic Court (in cases involving shared financial ventures).
Our role goes beyond mere notarization—we provide legal consultation before signing, and warn both parties of any clause that may potentially harm their future rights or trigger avoidable conflict.
We offer alternatives that achieve the same purpose without legal or moral risks.
We believe that a well-structured marriage does not weaken because of a contract—it strengthens.
Clarity, understanding, and well-drafted agreements shield the couple from future battles, preserve their dignity, and protect their children from emotional damage caused by disputes.
We don’t just draft papers—we craft human understandings empowered by law.

• Personal property rights
• Marital responsibilities
