Our Practice
Family law is the heart of this practice: marriage, its ending, children, maintenance, and inheritance. Around that core, the firm handles the matters that so often travel alongside family disputes — property, succession, and cases for Pakistanis living abroad.
Each area below has its own detailed page explaining the process in plain language, who it is for, and what to prepare before you call. Start with whichever heading sounds closest to your situation; the pages link to one another where matters overlap, because real life rarely respects neat categories.

Divorce
Dissolution of marriage through the family courts — the procedure, the paperwork, and what to expect at each stage.

Not sure where your matter fits?
Many real situations cross these boundaries — a divorce that involves a property dispute, or an inheritance question that affects maintenance. You do not need to classify your own case before calling. Describe what is happening in your own words, and we will tell you honestly which area it falls into and what your options are. An initial conversation costs you nothing but a little time, and it often brings clarity even when the path forward is not yet obvious.
Family matters also change shape as they progress. A negotiation that fails becomes litigation; a custody question raises a maintenance question; a divorce uncovers a property that needs dividing. Because the practice covers the full arc of family law rather than a single slice of it, you will not be passed from specialist to specialist as your matter evolves. One advocate, who knows your whole story, sees it through.
If your matter touches on something not listed here — a civil dispute, a banking question, a rent disagreement — mention it anyway. Where we can help, we will say so; where another specialist would serve you better, we will tell you that too.
