Key Stages of Child Custody Litigation in Nairobi
The litigation process for child custody in Nairobi typically involves several distinct stages. It often begins with filing an application or responding to a summons, followed by the exchange of pleadings and affidavits detailing each party's position and supporting evidence. Pre-trial conferences, including mandatory mediation attempts under the Civil Procedure Rules, are common. If mediation fails, the case proceeds to trial, where evidence is presented and legal arguments are made before the judge. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates meticulously manages each stage, from discovery and evidence gathering to trial preparation and representation at the Milimani Law Courts. Our goal is to achieve a favorable resolution through thorough preparation and effective courtroom advocacy, ensuring compliance with all legal procedural requirements.
