Family law in Kuala Lumpur

Divorce, custody, maintenance and division of assets are handled differently in each. The firms below practise family law in Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur — check whether a firm handles civil, Syariah, or both.
Typical costs
| Uncontested divorce | RM3,000–10,000 |
| Contested divorce | RM8,000–50,000+ |
Published ranges; actual fees depend on whether the matter is contested.
Common questions
Civil court or Syariah court — which applies to me?
If both spouses are Muslim, divorce and related matters go through the Syariah court. For non-Muslims (and most interfaith situations), the civil courts under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 apply. Confirm which a firm handles before engaging them.
How long does a divorce take in Malaysia?
A mutual-consent (joint petition) divorce can conclude in three to six months. A contested divorce, or one requiring the mandatory reconciliation process, takes considerably longer.
Do family lawyers in Kuala Lumpur handle child custody?
Yes — custody, guardianship, and maintenance are part of family practice. Use the firms below and confirm they handle your court track (civil or Syariah).
