Supreme Court of Westchester County in NY Recognizes UAE Judgment Enforcing Mahr Agreement

In a recent case, the client contacted me and sought my legal advice on recognition of her foreign divorce obtained in Abu Dhabi including the mahr agreement. Accordingly, I wrote an affidavit to the Supreme Court of Westchester County, New York, seeking recognition of my client’s foreign divorce and her mahr contract valued at $250,000. The Supreme Court agreed with our opinion and handed down a judgment for recognition of the foreign divorce and awarded my client the full amount. You may read the judgment of the Supreme Court at the following link:
