Family & Divorce · Lebanon

Family and Divorce Lawyer in Lebanon

Dr. Dani Geagea advises and represents clients in Lebanese family and personal-status matters, including divorce, separation, custody, contact with children and maintenance. The office also assists clients living abroad whose family circumstances require legal advice or proceedings in Lebanon. The first discussion identifies what needs to be resolved, any immediate concern and the documents available. The proposed work is then defined around the family’s circumstances, the relevant marriage and personal-status records, and any proceedings already under way.

How the office can assist

Divorce, separation and marriage-related questions

Before advising on a divorce or separation, the office reviews the marriage documents, where the marriage took place, the parties’ circumstances and the outcome sought. Questions concerning a marriage celebrated abroad, its records and its consequences in Lebanon are examined on the documents rather than treated as identical to every other family case. The work may include assessing the available route, preparing a response to an existing claim, discussing proposed arrangements or representing a client before the appropriate authority. No particular procedure, timetable or result is promised before the file is reviewed.

Custody, contact and maintenance

A dispute may concern where a child lives, arrangements for contact, financial support or compliance with an existing decision. The assessment considers the child’s situation, the arrangements currently in place, the parties’ positions and any relevant orders or agreements. Provide a clear chronology and identify any approaching hearing or other urgent event. The office can then assess the requested measures and the supporting material, without assuming that an arrangement made privately or abroad can be implemented unchanged.

When a spouse or family member lives abroad

Cross-border family matters require attention to the countries involved, existing proceedings and the place where a decision will need to have effect. Where relevant, the review addresses jurisdiction, applicable law, foreign judgments and the steps needed in Lebanon. Initial coordination can begin remotely. The office identifies any power of attorney, certified record, translation or personal attendance needed for the particular assignment. If work under another country’s law is required, the role of appropriately licensed local counsel is considered separately.

Prepare an initial enquiry

These details stay in this page until you open WhatsApp or email. The selected service will then process them. Review and send the message there. Avoid confidential documents, passwords and account numbers.

An enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship or suspend a deadline. The office first checks conflicts, scope and fees.
