Divorce Lawyer in Nairobi: Family Law Services
We understand the emotional complexities of family legal issues. When a relationship breaks down or your family faces a difficult decision, you need advice you can trust. As a divorce lawyer in Nairobi, Ndindi & Nadida Advocates LLP guides clients through divorce, child custody, maintenance and matrimonial property matters with compassion, discretion and a clear plan.
From our office in Upperhill, we act for clients across Nairobi and beyond, in court and through negotiation and mediation. Where possible, we look for solutions that reduce conflict, protect children and avoid unnecessary cost. Where a matter must go to court, we prepare thoroughly and advocate firmly for your interests.
Divorce and Separation
Ending a marriage is a major decision, and the process depends on the type of marriage you entered into. We explain your options under the Marriage Act, 2014, including the grounds for divorce, the timelines that apply and what to expect at each stage. We prepare and respond to divorce petitions and cross-petitions, and advise on separation where divorce is not yet the right step.
Child Custody and Access
In every matter involving children, the court’s first consideration is the best interests of the child. We help parents reach agreements or seek court orders on custody, access, parental responsibility, schooling and travel, including practical co-parenting arrangements that give children stability.
Child and Spousal Maintenance
Both parents share responsibility for providing for their children. We help clients seek, negotiate, vary and enforce maintenance so that children’s needs for food, shelter, education and healthcare are met.
Matrimonial Property
Under the Matrimonial Property Act, 2013, property acquired during a marriage is shared according to each spouse’s contribution, which includes non-monetary contributions such as caring for the home and children. We help you identify, value and protect matrimonial property and pursue a fair division.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
We draft and review prenuptial and postnuptial agreements so that both parties clearly understand and record their property arrangements before or during marriage.
Domestic Violence
If you or your children are experiencing domestic or intimate partner violence, we can help you seek urgent protection orders under the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act, 2015, and advise you on your safety and next steps in complete confidence.
Adoption and Guardianship
We work closely with adoption agencies and the courts to guide prospective adoptive parents and guardians through the process under the Children Act, 2022, from eligibility and approvals to the final court orders.
Succession and Estate Planning
Family matters often extend to what happens after a loved one passes on. We prepare wills and assist with succession petitions, confirmation of grants and estate disputes under the Law of Succession Act.
Mediation and Negotiated Settlements
Not every family dispute needs a courtroom. Our team includes a certified mediator, and we help families resolve disputes privately through negotiation and mediation, saving time, cost and strain on relationships.
Support Beyond the Legal Process
Family cases can be emotionally draining. Our Counselling Psychologist walks alongside our family law clients through the highs and lows of their case, offering support and practical tools to help them cope and make clear decisions.
How We Work
Choosing a family lawyer in Nairobi is a personal decision. We give you honest advice about your options, likely costs and timelines from the first meeting. Every matter is handled in strict confidence, and we keep you informed at every step.
