Family Law FAQs

Common Questions About Family Law

In Kenya, grounds for divorce include adultery, cruelty, desertion for a period of at least three years, and irretrievable breakdown of marriage. We'll help you understand which grounds apply to your situation and guide you through the process.

Kenyan courts prioritize the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child's age, the parents' ability to provide care, the child's wishes (if mature enough), and the stability of each parent's home environment.

Adoption involves several steps: assessment by adoption agencies, court applications, fostering period, and final court orders. The process typically takes 6-12 months. We guide families through every step to ensure compliance with Kenyan law.

Asset protection during divorce requires careful legal planning. We can help you identify matrimonial versus non-matrimonial property, negotiate fair settlements, and ensure your financial rights are protected throughout the divorce process.
