Understanding family & succession law
Divorce, Khula & Custody Matters
Matrimonial disputes require compassionate but legally rigorous advocacy. We represent clients in divorce proceedings, khula (dissolution of marriage initiated by the wife), child custody cases, maintenance claims, and the recovery of dower (Mehr) and dowry articles before Family Courts.
Estate Administration & Inheritance
Following the loss of a family member, we assist heirs in obtaining Succession Certificates and Letters of Administration from NADRA or Civil Courts under the Succession Act, 1925. We also handle contested inheritance litigation and draft legally binding family settlements.
