Services for Iranians Living Abroad

Iranians living abroad, wherever they may be in the world, regardless of their ethnicity, language, culture, or beliefs, are considered invaluable assets of our nation. As representatives of Iran, they remain committed to the roots and culture of this land and, in their own way, strive for the growth and honor of Iran in every position they hold.

Given the large number of compatriots residing outside Iran and their diverse and extensive needs for managing their affairs within the country, my team strives to establish a framework that can appropriately address and fulfill these requests.

Family Law Disputes for Iranians Living Abroad

Key Points Regarding Family Law Disputes for Iranians Living Abroad

For Iranian couples living outside Iran, if their marriage has been registered according to Iranian law, the Iranian courts are considered competent to handle their family disputes.

In many cases, the country of residence also considers its own laws applicable to the resolution of their family disputes. This creates one of the most significant challenges of dual nationality, which places double obligations on both parties involved.

However, one of the key services that a lawyer in Iran can offer for Iranians residing abroad is to handle family disputes without requiring the physical presence of either spouse in Iran. The couple can simply visit the Iranian embassy or consulate, grant power of attorney to a lawyer, and have the lawyer pursue the case on their behalf in competent authorities, such as the family court.

The types of family law disputes that can be addressed through this process include:

- Mutual divorce
- Unilateral divorce (initiated by the husband or the wife)
- Dowry claims (mahr) and seizure of assets
- Travel bans (mamnou al-khorouj) and pursuing the lifting of travel bans
- Child custody  and  visitation rights
- Other family disputes under the jurisdiction of the family court.

This process ensures that family disputes can be efficiently resolved without the need for the couple to return to Iran, streamlining the legal proceedings for Iranians living abroad.

Overview of Legal Disputes Involving Iranians Residing Abroad

Sometimes, for various reasons, a legal, criminal, executive, or administrative lawsuit or complaint may be filed against an individual. The plaintiff may decide, for different reasons or motives, to inform the defendant of the lawsuit or, based on certain considerations, keep them unaware.

Despite the integrated Sana system and the digitalization of lawsuit registrations, which have significantly reduced such practices, it is still possible for ndividuals with malicious intent to file complaints against you and obtain a judgment in your absence by deliberately keeping you uninformed.
