DIVORCE LAWYER IN MALAYSIA

Divorce Lawyer for non-Muslims in Malaysia

How do you get a ​fast and quick divorce in Malaysia when your marriage breaks down? The answer is by filing a joint divorce petition to the High Court of Malaya.
In Malaysia, there is no "automatic divorce", regardless of how long you have separated from your partner. In order to get a proper divorce, the only way is to file a divorce petition at the High Court of Malaya under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) for an order of divorce. Thereafter, the divorce order will have to be submitted to the JPN for the update of marital status.

In order to get a
fast divorce in Malaysia, you will need to fulfil ALL of the following non-exhaustive and general requirements in order to file a joint divorce petition: -


  1. Your marriage must have been registered for at least two (2) years;
  2. You and your partner must have agreed to a divorce;
  3. You and your partner must have agreed to the arrangement as to your children (if any);
  4. You and your partner must have agreed to the arrangement as to the properties under the joint names of you and your partner (if any);
  5. You and your partner must have agreed to the amount of the monthly spousal maintenance (if relevant); and
  6. You and your partner must not have any other terms and conditions which either of you does not agree to.​

​If you fulfill ALL of the above pre-conditions, then you may be able to apply for and obtain the divorce order fast and quick. However, if you do not fulfil ANY of the above pre-conditions, kindly contact us so that we can assess your matter and provide the necessary legal advice.

Our lawyers regularly advise and represent clients in the High Court of Malaya in family and divorce matters. We are able to assist you in your divorce matter regardless of where you are (whether you are in Malaysia or overseas / outside of Malaysia).
