Document background
The Divorce Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Saudi Arabia when spouses seek to formally end their marriage in compliance with both civil law and Islamic Sharia principles. It becomes necessary when parties have agreed to divorce terms or when a court has mandated specific arrangements. The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the marriage dissolution, including financial settlements, property division, child custody (if applicable), and post-divorce obligations. It must strictly adhere to Saudi Arabia's Personal Status Law of 2022 and traditional Islamic jurisprudence, making it enforceable in Saudi courts. The document serves as both a legal record of the divorce and a binding agreement defining future obligations and rights of both parties, particularly important in cases involving complex assets, children, or international elements.
