Personal Status

Divorce and khul', custody, maintenance and visitation, proving filiation and registering marriage, inheritance and wills.

Family matters call for legal expertise and human sensitivity in equal measure. We treat every file in strict confidence and pursue an amicable resolution first wherever possible, because what is preserved of a family relationship matters no less than what is recovered as a right.

Matters we handle

  • Divorce, judicial divorce and khul': in all their forms, procedures and effects.
  • Custody, visitation and overnight stays: filing, enforcement, and variation as circumstances change.
  • Maintenance: for the wife and children, together with custody and housing allowances.
  • Establishing marriage and filiation: resolving unregistered marriages and unregistered births.
  • Inheritance and wills: succession certificates, estate distribution, and challenges to wills.
  • Mixed marriages and marriages concluded abroad: and the legalisations needed to give them effect.

How we work

  1. Assessment meeting: understanding the full family position before proposing any route.
  2. Sequencing the claims: filing one before another affects the course and length of proceedings.
  3. Settlement first: we pursue agreement wherever it serves the children's welfare.
  4. Enforcement: following through on maintenance and visitation orders where compliance is refused.
