BaghdadiLaw’s experience in divorce in Syria

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to divorce matters, with a firm understanding of presenting applications and evidence and addressing the financial rights and family arrangements connected to separation. A divorce matter connected to Syria requires identifying the applicable personal-status regime, the marriage record and the route by which separation is sought or has occurred. Registration, financial rights and children’s arrangements are related but separate questions.

Law 4/2019 amended provisions of Personal Status Law 59/1953 dealing with divorce and judicial separation, including Articles 87–88 on declaration, delegation and court reconciliation, and Article 117 on compensation in specified unilateral-divorce circumstances. These historical provisions do not create one rule for every Syrian marriage. Current amendments, jurisdiction and the applicable community regime must be verified. Foreign records, messages and an alleged oral declaration may raise different proof questions. Preserve exact dates and wording without assuming that a foreign civil document settles Syrian registration or financial effects.

We agree the work your matter needs: Consider a documented agreement, the appropriate registration or judicial route, or assessment of an existing foreign decision. Urgent child or support issues may need separate treatment while status is resolved. The deliverable is agreed for your file: The consultation can deliver a status chronology, a route comparison and a checklist separating marital, financial and children’s issues.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on divorce in Syria

What should be reviewed first in a Syrian divorce matter?

Confirm the spouses’ status, relevant community rules, where the marriage and any separation were recorded and whether proceedings already exist. Distinguish a proposed divorce, a disputed prior declaration and a judicial separation request. Then review dowry, maintenance and children’s issues according to that route.

Does a foreign divorce settle every Syrian issue?

Recognition, registration and the treatment of financial or child-related orders require separate assessment.

Are all divorces subject to the same financial consequences?

No. The route, facts, applicable regime and existing agreements or orders can change the analysis.
