Our divorce lawyers in Nairobi handle both contested and uncontested divorces under the Marriage Act 2014 with sensitivity and professionalism. We strive to achieve amicable resolutions that protect your interests while minimising conflict, especially when children are involved.

From child custody arrangements to matrimonial property division and adoption applications, we combine legal expertise with genuine care for our clients' wellbeing. Our goal is to help families navigate difficult transitions with dignity and respect.

Divorce & Separation Law in Kenya

Kenya's Marriage Act 2014 governs divorce proceedings and recognises various forms of marriage, including civil, customary, Christian, Hindu, and Islamic marriages. Our divorce lawyers in Nairobi advise clients on the grounds for divorce, the divorce process, protection of financial interests, and negotiation of separation agreements. Where possible, we encourage mediation to achieve out-of-court settlements that reduce costs and emotional stress for all parties, especially children.

Child Custody & Maintenance

Children's best interests are paramount in all custody and access disputes under the Children Act 2022. Our child custody lawyers in Kenya help parents reach practical parenting arrangements covering residence, visitation schedules, and decision-making authority. Where agreement cannot be reached, we represent clients in contested custody hearings before the Family Division of the High Court, always ensuring the child's welfare remains central to all proceedings.

Matrimonial Property Division

The Matrimonial Property Act 2013 governs how property acquired during marriage is divided upon divorce or separation. Our matrimonial property lawyers trace, value, and advocate for a fair division of the matrimonial home, businesses, investments, and other shared assets. We protect clients from hidden assets and ensure equitable settlements that reflect their true contribution to the marriage.

Adoption & Domestic Violence

Kenya's Children Act and the adoption regulations set out a strict process for local and international adoptions. Our adoption lawyers guide prospective parents through home studies, court applications, and post-adoption reporting requirements. For clients facing domestic violence, we urgently obtain protection orders under the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act 2015 to ensure the safety of victims and their children.
