Document background
The Divorce Final Settlement Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Saudi Arabia when parties have agreed to terminate their marriage and need to formalize all aspects of their separation. This document is essential for ensuring compliance with both Saudi civil law and Islamic Sharia principles, which form the foundation of the Saudi legal system. It becomes necessary when divorcing parties have reached an agreement on key issues such as financial settlements, property division, and child custody arrangements (if applicable). The agreement must address specific Islamic legal requirements such as Mahr settlements and Iddah period obligations, while also ensuring enforceability under Saudi civil law. It serves as the final binding document that courts will reference for any future disputes or enforcement actions, making it essential for all terms to be clearly defined and compliant with local laws and religious requirements.
