Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions — Family Law in Kenya
What family law services does Okoth Obera Law Advocates provide?
We handle the full range of family law matters including divorce and judicial separation, matrimonial property disputes, child custody and maintenance orders, adoption, succession and estate administration, and protective injunctions for domestic situations.
How is matrimonial property divided on divorce in Kenya?
Under the Matrimonial Property Act, matrimonial property is divided according to each spouse's contribution — financial and non-financial. Courts consider the circumstances of each case. We advise on your rights and help negotiate or litigate fair property settlements.
Can I get a divorce in Kenya without going to court?
While the final divorce decree must be granted by court, many ancillary matters such as property division, child custody, and maintenance can be resolved through mediation or negotiation, potentially reducing the need for prolonged courtroom proceedings. We advise on the most appropriate route for your circumstances.
How do I obtain letters of administration for a deceased estate?
We assist with all aspects of succession including obtaining letters of administration or probate, notifying creditors, estate inventory, distribution to beneficiaries, and registration of property transfers. The process typically takes 3-6 months depending on the complexity of the estate.
