Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between divorce (talaq) and khula?
Talaq is the husband’s pronouncement of divorce following legal requirements under Pakistani law. Khula is a court-based dissolution initiated by the wife, usually involving return of dower (haq mehr) unless the court orders otherwise. Both require proper notices and documentation; we guide you on the correct procedure for your situation.
How long does a divorce or khula case take in Sialkot?
Timelines vary by case complexity, court schedule, and whether the matter is contested. Uncontested matters can resolve in a few months; contested cases may take longer due to evidence and hearings. After an initial assessment, we provide a realistic, case-specific timeline.
Who gets child custody in Pakistan?
Courts prioritize the child’s best interests, considering age, welfare, stability, and parental conduct. Mothers often have custody of young children (subject to welfare), while fathers typically maintain guardianship and financial responsibility. Each case is fact-specific; we present evidence to support the child’s welfare.
How is maintenance (nafaqa) calculated?
Maintenance is assessed based on the payer’s means and the reasonable needs of the spouse or child, including housing, education, healthcare, and living expenses. We help compile income and expense evidence and seek fair, enforceable maintenance orders.
Can we settle without going to trial?
Yes. Many family disputes resolve through negotiation or mediation, with terms documented in a legally enforceable agreement or consent order. We aim to reach practical settlements where possible, saving time, cost, and stress.
What if my spouse is abroad or cannot be located?
We use court-approved service methods, including international service or substituted service where appropriate. For overseas parties, we coordinate notices and hearing participation in line with procedural rules.
Do I need to attend every hearing if I live overseas?
Not always. In many matters, your authorized attorney can appear on your behalf, and your evidence can be managed via affidavits or scheduled appearances as directed by the court. We structure representation to minimize travel where permitted by law.
What are your fees for family law cases?
Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your matter. After a free initial review, we provide a written fee quote with available fixed-fee or staged options and any eligible installment plans. Work begins only after you approve the proposal.
