Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this practice area
In Pakistan, a husband can pronounce Talaq and must send a written notice to the Union Council and the wife. The Union Council then constitutes an Arbitration Council to attempt reconciliation. The divorce becomes effective after 90 days if reconciliation fails. A wife can file for Khula through a Family Court.
Khula is the wife's right to seek divorce through the court. The Family Court typically passes a Khula decree within 3-6 months. You may need to return the mehr (dower) unless the court decides otherwise. Our family lawyers can guide you through the entire Khula process in Karachi's Family Courts.
Under Pakistani family law, custody is determined by the best interest of the child. Generally, mothers are granted custody of young children, while fathers are responsible for financial support. Our family lawyers help you navigate custody, visitation rights, and guardianship matters.
