Expertise
Family disputes demand discretion and clarity. We advise under the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961, Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, Family Courts Act, and provincial Domestic Violence statutes (e.g., Sindh DV Act, 2013), while respecting Islamic Shariah principles as applied by Pakistani courts.
Our practice covers nikah/registration; talaq notices and Union Council proceedings; khula; maintenance (nafaqah) and dower (haq mehr); custody and visitation based on the child’s welfare principle; guardianship; and inheritance/succession including issuance of succession certificates and letters of administration. We also act in domestic violence protection orders, dowry recovery, and residence rights.
Where amicable solutions are possible, we use negotiation and mediation to preserve dignity and reduce cost. When litigation is necessary, we pursue interim custody/maintenance, injunctions, and execution with urgency. Sensitive documentation, privacy, and culturally informed advice are central to our approach.
Our team has successfully obtained urgent interim relief in complex custody and relocation matters for high-profile families, balancing confidentiality with decisive courtroom advocacy to secure sustainable arrangements.
