Cross-border family support

When a loved one emigrates and disappears,
you don't have to face it alone.

Sila is a free, confidential service that assesses your situation and connects you with licensed lawyers and licensed investigators in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia — through lawful channels only.

Completely confidential Arabic-speaking coordinators Licensed professionals only Free — no obligation
Who we are

We are from these communities, and we live on both shores.

Sila was founded by a team from the Arab diaspora based in North America and Europe. In our own communities and families, we have seen women and children left behind when a husband or father emigrated and went silent — no news, no support, no clear path forward.

Our primary mission, stated openly: helping Arab women and their children reach a husband or father who disappeared abroad, and recover their rights through legal channels — via licensed lawyers and investigators, in complete confidentiality, entirely free for the families.

We also serve anyone in our diaspora communities who needs a trusted, licensed professional to lawfully verify facts affecting their rights — such as an undisclosed marriage in the West, or concealed income and assets during a support dispute — strictly through official records and legal processes.

Three clear steps

How it works

01

Tell us your situation

A short, confidential form. No documents needed to start; your name is never shown to anyone.

02

A coordinator contacts you

Within 72 working hours, a coordinator reviews your case with you and explains honestly what is legally possible — and what isn't.

03

We connect you to the right professional

If your case is actionable, we refer you to a licensed lawyer or investigator in the right jurisdiction. Fees are agreed directly between you and them — we take nothing from you.

Scope

What we help with

Our boundaries — stated before you ask

Every verification we arrange happens strictly through public records, court processes, and licensed professionals acting within the scope of their licenses. We do not accept — under any circumstances — requests for covert surveillance, tracking a person's movements, or accessing anyone's phone, accounts, or communications. These boundaries protect you first: unlawfully obtained evidence collapses in court and exposes the person who gathered it to liability.

Full transparency

Why is it free? Who pays us, then?

Our partner lawyers and investigators pay us flat marketing and operations fees — because we bring them serious, pre-screened clients from Arabic-speaking communities they cannot otherwise reach in their language.

You never pay us anything. Professional fees — if you choose to retain a partner — are agreed directly between you and them, in writing, before any work begins. No hidden commissions, no percentage of your case, no surprises.

Common questions

Before you start

Is this legal?
Fully. We are a guidance and referral service connecting you with professionals licensed in their own jurisdictions. We do not practice law or conduct investigations ourselves, and we serve legitimate family and legal purposes only.
Is it really confidential?
Yes. We never contact your family or the other party, and your information is shared only with the specific professional you explicitly approve — never sold, never shared otherwise.
What does it cost?
The assessment, guidance, and referral are completely free, always. Professional fees are agreed directly with the lawyer or investigator, transparently and in writing, before anything begins.
Can you "monitor" or track someone?
No — we refuse such requests explicitly. What we arrange is lawful verification of specific facts affecting your rights: a registered marriage, an address via a licensed investigator, assets through court discovery. Covert surveillance, tracking, and account access are illegal, inadmissible in court, and we will never be party to them.
Do you guarantee results?
No — and anyone who guarantees outcomes is not being honest with you. What we guarantee: an honest assessment, a licensed professional, a clear path, and complete candor if the path is closed.
Who are you, and why should I trust you?
A team from the Arab diaspora in North America and Europe. We never ask you for money, we give you every professional's license number so you can verify them yourself in official registries before paying anyone, and our ethics charter is published. Trust here is built on transparency, not slogans.
Free & confidential

Start your case assessment

Takes under 3 minutes. "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

We ask so we can recommend options that fit your circumstances — including limited-cost paths and free legal-aid organizations.

Please complete all required fields (including the confirmation) with a valid email.

We received your request. You're not alone anymore.

An Arabic- and English-speaking coordinator will contact you within 72 working hours, using the method you chose. Everything you shared stays confidential — nothing more is needed from you right now.

For legal & investigative professionals

Serious, pre-screened Arabic-speaking clients — delivered ready.

Sila is the Arabic-language gateway for cross-border family matters: support enforcement, locates, marital-status verification, and family reconnection. We speak the community's language and understand its context — you practice law.

Before a case ever reaches you

  • Full voice intake in Arabic with the client
  • Facts and available documents summarized in organized English
  • Seriousness and fee-capacity screening built into intake
  • Unlawful or non-actionable requests filtered out — your time is never wasted

What we never do

  • We do not practice law or promise clients outcomes
  • We never interfere in your fee agreement or professional relationship
  • We take no percentage of your fees
  • Compensation is a flat marketing/operations fee — structured to comply with your bar's rules, and never contingent on retention or case value

We work exclusively with licensed professionals, verify licenses periodically, and give every client your license number with instructions to verify it independently — because that transparency is what makes them trust the referral.
