Key Aspects of Family Law Pertaining to Children in Kenya

In Kenya, the Children Act, 2022 is the cornerstone legislation governing all matters concerning children. This comprehensive Act outlines the rights and responsibilities of parents, guardians, and the state in ensuring the welfare and protection of minors. Key areas covered include child custody and guardianship, where the child's best interests are paramount; child maintenance, ensuring financial support for the child's needs; adoption, providing legal frameworks for prospective parents; and protection against child abuse and neglect. Mwenda Njagi & Co. Advocates provides in-depth guidance on these matters, helping clients understand their legal standing and navigate the complexities of family law. We also address issues related to parental responsibility and the rights of unmarried parents as defined by the Kenyan legal system.
