​Four Simple Steps​

Guiding you through every step. From first consultation to final closure.
1
Initial Consultation
We start with a confidential discussion to understand your situation and goals. Based on your case, we will then be able to advise you on the appropriate divorce route.
2
Document Preparation
Once you decide to proceed, we will prepare the necessary legal documents. Upon review and approval, we will arrange for signing. If negotiations are needed, we will assist you throughout.
3
Court Proceedings
We will file your case in court. The hearing process may differ based on whether it is contested or uncontested. We will represent you in court and keep you informed at every stage.
4
Post-Divorce Matters
After the court grants the divorce, we will handle the remaining paperwork, including extraction of the court order, and assist with post-divorce matters such as updating marital status at JPN.

Taking the first step is never easy, but you're not alone. Let us help you move forward with clarity and care. ​Get started now >


​Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you make informed decisions.
HOW DO I FILE A DIVORCE PETITION?
In Malaysia, there are generally two types of divorce petition: -
  1. Joint divorce petition (where both you and your partner agree to the divorce and the terms of separation); and
  2. Unilateral / Single divorce petition (where either you or your partner disagrees with the divorce or any of the terms of separation).
JOINT DIVORCE PETITION - HOW AND WHEN?
As long as the joint divorce petition is filed two (2) years after your marriage, the Court may make the order of divorce if both you and your partner freely consent to the divorce, and proper arrangement has been made for the wife and children (if any).
SINGLE DIVORCE PETITION - GROUND FOR PETITION?
Unlike a joint divorce petition, there must be a proof of breakdown of your marriage, that is to say, that there must be proof of: -
  1. commission of adultery by either party;
  2. unreasonable behaviour of either party;
  3. desertion by either party for two (2) years; or
  4. both parties have lived apart or separately for two (2) years.
process and duration? WHEN CAN I REMARRY?
Joint Divorce Petition
Upon the filing of the joint divorce petition at the High Court, the hearing of your case will generally be fixed within 3-6 weeks. At the hearing of your divorce petition, a divorce order (decree nisi) may be granted if the Judge is satisfied that both parties have freely consented to the divorce and proper arrangement has been made for the wife and the children.

Single Divorce Peition
The duration of each case very much depends on the circumstances and the facts of a particular case. Upon perusing the documents and information from you, we will advise on the estimated duration accordingly.

When may you remarry?
You may remarry if you so wish after your marital status in the record of National Registration Department (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) has been updated. Please note that the decree absolute (or the decree nisi made absolute) shall be delivered to the JPN for purposes of updating your marital status in the JPN's record. Unless expressly granted by the Court, the decree nisi shall only be made absolute after the expiration of three (3) months from its grant.
COUPLE WITH CHILDREN - THINGS TO CONSIDER?
For couples with children, proper arrangement must be made for the support, care and custody of the children. It is strongly advisable for couples with children to discuss about the arrangement for the children. If you are unable to agree to it, the Court may decide on the matter having regard to the wishes of the parents (if any) and that of the children (if they are able to express independent opinion).

Below are the few points that you may wish to consider when discussing about the arrangement for the support, care and custody of your children: -
  1. who will make decisions as to the children's education and religion;
  2. who will pay for the children's living expenses and education costs;
  3. if the custody of the children is not joint, what is the right to access/visitation right for you or your spouse;
  4. where will the children reside after divorce; and
  5. any holiday plans for the children.
