Understanding Kenyan Family Law and Its Nuances
Kenyan family law is primarily governed by the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the Marriage Act (Cap. 150), the Matrimonial Causes Act (Cap. 152), and the Children Act, 2022. These statutes address a wide spectrum of family matters, including dissolution of marriage, maintenance, custody of children, and matrimonial property. For families in Nairobi, understanding these legal frameworks is vital. Issues such as inheritance under the Law of Succession Act (Cap. 160) also frequently intersect with family law concerns. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates & Mediators possesses extensive experience in interpreting and applying these laws, ensuring our clients receive advice that is both legally sound and practically applicable in the context of Nairobi's unique social and economic environment. We stay abreast of judicial pronouncements from the High Court of Kenya and other relevant courts.

This includes pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreement drafting, divorce proceedings with a focus on amicable resolution where possible, child custody and access arrangements that prioritise the child's welfare according to the Children Act, 2022, and spousal maintenance claims. We also handle domestic violence protection orders under the Protection Against Domestic Violence Act, 2015, and represent clients in the division of matrimonial property. Furthermore, we provide guidance on adoption procedures and estate planning to secure your family's legacy.
