CounselO SyriaCountry-specific legal content and servicesChange jurisdictionFamily Law
Alimony and child maintenance concerns the family relationship, the current living and care arrangements, prior agreements or orders and the change that requires advice. In Syria, the answer depends on the applicable family law framework, the competent authority or forum, the available evidence and any notice or deadline. CounselO uses this page to focus the initial review on the facts that change the legal position and the outcome you need: protect the relevant rights and interests, prepare a negotiated arrangement or identify the appropriate personal-status procedure.

Main service
Family law in Syria is governed by the Syrian Personal Status Law (Law No. 59 of 1953, as amended) and Islamic Sharia principles, applied by Personal Status Courts (محاكم الأحوال الشخصية). At CounselO, we understand that family disputes are among the most sensitive legal matters our clients face. We provide strategic, clear-headed counsel rooted in Syrian family law — protecting your assets, your relationship with your children, and your future.
This page then narrows the review to alimony and child maintenance and does not replace a matter-specific study of your facts and documents.
Matter-specific output
The deliverable is not a general explanation of the service. It is a focused review of the problem you submit and the outcome you need.
A focused statement and chronology explaining how alimony and child maintenance arose
A problem-specific review of identity and family-status records, prior judgments or agreements, care and expense records, communications and evidence of the child's or family's circumstances
A clear assessment of the rule, authority, deadline, risk and remedy for this problem
A written legal response and next-step plan directed to this outcome: protect the relevant rights and interests, prepare a negotiated arrangement or identify the appropriate personal-status procedure
A clear explanation of what the consultation covers and whether separate representation, filing or attendance is needed
From first contact to deliverable
Each stage has a clear purpose: understand the issue, agree the scope, and deliver a practical output you can use to decide what happens next.
Send the facts, desired outcome, notice or deadline, and the key documents about alimony and child maintenance through the contact form, WhatsApp or email.
We study the information relevant to alimony and child maintenance, identify what is missing, and confirm the scope, fee, timing and written deliverable before work starts.
After you approve the scope and pay for the agreed consultation, CounselO begins the focused legal review.
You receive the agreed written analysis and next steps focused on whether and how to protect the relevant rights and interests, prepare a negotiated arrangement or identify the appropriate personal-status procedure, through WhatsApp or email.

The fee and payment method are confirmed after the initial study of the request and before paid work begins.
Experience and fit
CounselO is founded and led by Lawyer and Legal Counsel Omar Al-Baghdadi, with 30+ years of legal practice and 20,000+ legal matters and consultations across civil, commercial, employment, family, property, administrative, arbitration and enforcement matters. For alimony and child maintenance, that experience means testing the family relationship, the current living and care arrangements, prior agreements or orders and the change that requires advice against identity and family-status records, prior judgments or agreements, care and expense records, communications and evidence of the child's or family's circumstances, then matching the advice to the relevant forum and remedy—not applying a one-size-fits-all answer.
Send clear copies of what you have. Do not send the only copy of an original, and redact information that is not needed for the review.
The result depends on the facts and the competent forum in Syria.
This page provides general information and is not a substitute for a matter-specific legal study. Official links are starting points for checking operative law; they do not alone establish that a rule, deadline or remedy applies to your facts.
Preserve identity and family-status records, prior judgments or agreements, care and expense records, communications and evidence of the child's or family's circumstances, prepare a dated chronology and identify any notice or deadline. Send those materials to CounselO for an initial assessment of the facts, forum and options in Syria.

Legal consultations and document review are available in both Arabic and English.
Client information and legal documents are treated as confidential, and only information needed to assess the matter is requested.

This study explains that an arbitral tribunal's jurisdiction does not arise merely from the existence of an arbitration clause, but depends on compliance with the institution, rules, and formation mechanism agreed by the parties. The dispute concluded with the tribunal held to lack jurisdiction to hear the claim, and the party who initiated proceedings before an incorrect forum ordered to bear the arbitration costs.

View work sampleThis study concerns a complex real estate dispute in Syria in which an heir claims entitlement to the value of a property formerly owned by his father. Ownership was transferred to the grandmother, who later sold the property to a third party shortly before the father’s death. The case focused on suspected irregularities in the transfer of ownership, the absence of genuine consideration, and the fictitious price recorded in the sale contract. **CounselO | كاونسلو** helped reconstruct the case legally by reviewing contracts and real estate records, analyzing examination transcripts, arranging the chronology of events, and highlighting the discrepancy between the recorded price and the property’s actual value. As a result, the court moved toward commissioning a **real estate expert valuation** to determine the property’s actual value, marking an important shift in the proceedings. In summary, CounselO’s support transformed a general claim into an organized legal case grounded in evidence, chronology, admissions, and the fictitious recorded price.

View work sampleThis case study examines CounselO’s role in reviewing a non-disclosure agreement for an international technology project by analysing legal and commercial risks and negotiating more balanced provisions. The review focused on key issues including dispute resolution, the non-circumvention period, the definition of business opportunities, limitations of liability, brand identity protection, and the regulation of future relationships. Most proposed amendments were accepted, while the foreign arbitration clause remained under negotiation. The study demonstrates the importance of specialised legal review in protecting interests and reducing risks before international contracts are signed.
