Frequently Asked Questions

Joint petition is suitable when both parties agree on all terms. Single petition is used when there is no agreement or dispute on any issue.
Under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, the court's paramount consideration is the welfare and best interests of the child. The court takes into account the child's age, emotional and physical needs, current care arrangements, stability of schooling and each parent's ability to provide a safe environment. Each case is assessed on its specific facts.
Yes. Under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, the court may order child maintenance until the child reaches 18 (or longer in certain circumstances). Spousal maintenance may also be ordered depending on the financial circumstances of the parties. Applications can be made as part of divorce proceedings or separately.
Under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, matrimonial assets may be divided by the court considering each party's direct financial contributions, indirect contributions such as homemaking, the duration of the marriage and other relevant factors. Settlement by agreement is possible and is often preferable to contested proceedings.
Divorce lawyer fees in Malaysia vary depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, the complexity of the matter, and the number of court attendances required. Our team provides a clear fee estimate after an initial consultation based on your specific circumstances.
An uncontested divorce in Malaysia typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to the grant of the divorce order, assuming all documentation is in order and both parties agree on all terms. A contested divorce can take significantly longer depending on the issues in dispute.
Sole custody is granted where the court determines it is in the best interests of the child. The court will consider factors including the child's welfare, each parent's ability to provide care, and the wishes of older children. Our lawyers can advise on your specific circumstances.
The court has discretion to divide matrimonial assets — including property, savings and other jointly acquired assets — in a manner it considers just and equitable. Contributions of both spouses, both financial and non-financial, are taken into account.
While it is possible to apply for divorce without a lawyer, legal representation is strongly recommended to ensure all documents are correctly prepared and filed, and that your rights and interests are properly protected throughout the process.
