Family Law Services in Nairobi
Sensitive and effective legal representation for family matters
Family Law Services in Nairobi
Family law matters are among the most personal and emotionally sensitive legal issues any individual can face. In Kenya, family law is governed primarily by the Marriage Act, 2014, the Matrimonial Property Act, 2013, the Children Act, 2001, and the Law of Succession Act. These matters are heard in the Family Division of the High Court and in Magistrate's Courts.
LHK Advocates provides compassionate yet effective legal representation in all family law matters including divorce and separation, child custody and access, maintenance and child support, matrimonial property division, adoption, and protection from domestic violence. We understand the emotional stakes and work to achieve outcomes that protect our clients and their children.
We believe that family disputes are best resolved through negotiation and mediation where possible, preserving relationships and protecting children from adversarial conflict. However, when the other party is unreasonable or the safety of our client or children is at risk, we pursue court remedies without hesitation.
