Experienced Legal Representation in Family and Matrimonial Matters
At Legum, we understand that family law disputes require not only legal expertise but also sensitivity, discretion, and urgency. Our lawyers have extensive experience representing individuals in a wide range of family law matters before Family Courts, Guardian Courts, and the High Courts of Pakistan under their constitutional jurisdiction.
Whether it involves a marital dispute, claims of abuse, or matters concerning children, our team provides compassionate and strategic legal support aimed at protecting your rights and securing just outcomes.
Our Family Law Services Include:
Divorce and Khula
We regularly represent clients in Suits for Khula and divorce proceedings, ensuring due process is followed and our clients’ rights are safeguarded. We advise on both contested and uncontested dissolutions of marriage, with a focus on reaching timely and respectful outcomes.
Suit for Restitution of Conjugal Rights
We act in cases where one spouse seeks the restoration of matrimonial relations through a Suit for Restitution of Conjugal Rights, addressing complex issues of abandonment, marital consent, and reconciliation under applicable personal laws.
Maintenance, Dower and Dowry Claims
Our team represents parties in maintenance proceedings, recovery of dower (haq mehar), dowry articles, and return of personal property. We ensure that these claims are pursued or defended based on a thorough assessment of financial obligations, documentation, and family circumstances.
Jactitation of Marriage and Marital Status Disputes
We act in jactitation of marriage suits, including cases involving false claims or denial of marriage. Our legal team handles these matters with a focus on reputation, legal clarity, and court-based declarations.
Domestic Violence and Abuse
We represent victims of domestic violence, including physical abuse, mental and emotional trauma, and infidelity-related disputes. Where appropriate, we pursue protective relief under the relevant laws and also assist in filing criminal complaints or initiating independent civil actions.
Child Custody, Guardianship, and Parental Abduction
We act in custody and guardianship matters, including applications under the Guardians and Wards Act, as well as in disputes involving visitation rights, parental relocation, and child abduction. We work to ensure that the welfare of the minor remains paramount while protecting our clients’ parental rights.
We also represent parties in Constitution Petitions / Writ Petitions before the High Courts in urgent or exceptional matters involving unlawful detention of children, denial of custody in violation of court orders, and violations of fundamental rights.
