Overview
Family disputes are among the most personal matters a court can hear. Our family law team guides you through khula, divorce (talaq) and related claims calmly and confidentially, with your wellbeing and your children’s welfare at the centre of every decision.
Family cases in Pakistan are heard by Family Courts under the West Pakistan Family Courts Act, 1964, read with the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961. We handle the full process, from the first notice to the final decree, and we act for clients living in Pakistan and abroad.
