Questions about this service
Can we divorce if one of us is outside Egypt?
In some cases, yes, through a power of attorney (توكيل). It depends on the type of procedure and the competent authority.
Will the divorce affect the foreign spouse's residence?
It may, if the residence permit is based on the marriage. We explain the effect on your situation before you start.
Will anyone else know the details of my file?
No. What you tell us stays inside the firm, within professional and legal rules.
