FAAIZ Law provides sensitive and practical advice to individuals going through divorce and other matrimonial disputes. We understand that family matters are deeply personal and often emotional, and we guide our clients through the legal process with care, while protecting their interests and those of their children.
Our Family & Matrimonial Services
For non-Muslim clients, we act in divorce proceedings under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, including both joint petitions and contested divorces. We advise on the grounds for divorce, the dissolution process and the steps required to bring a marriage to a proper legal end.
For Muslim clients, we advise and represent clients in the Syariah Court, including divorce by fasakh, taklik and khuluk, and related claims such as iddah maintenance, mutaah and the division of harta sepencarian.
We also handle the related issues that frequently arise, including:
- Division of matrimonial assets and harta sepencarian
- Maintenance for a spouse and children (nafkah iddah, mutaah, child maintenance)
- Child custody (hadhanah & custody), care and control, and access
- Domestic violence protection orders (EPO, IPO & PO)
- Adoption and change of a child's name
