Frequently Asked Questions

What is the process for divorce in Kenya?

How are child custody matters handled in Kenya?
The best interests of the child are paramount in custody decisions in Kenya, as guided by the Children Act, 2022. Courts consider factors like the child's well-being, the ability of each parent to provide care, and the child's wishes (if of sufficient age and maturity).
