Divorce Petition Filing

Our divorce petition service provides guidance through every procedural step under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976.

Child Custody & Guardianship
From RM 2,200
Custody and guardianship proceedings require careful navigation of both legal standards and deeply personal considerations.

Matrimonial Asset Division
From RM 4,900

Our advisory covers the full process of identifying, valuing, and distributing the matrimonial pool — and we coordinate specialist forensic accounting support where the complexity warrants it.
