Understanding Divorce Proceedings in Kenya

In Kenya, divorce proceedings are primarily governed by the Matrimonial Causes Act and the Marriage Act, 2014. To file for divorce, at least one party must be a Kenyan citizen or have been married in Kenya. The grounds for divorce include adultery, cruelty, desertion for at least two years, or an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage. Our solicitors meticulously review each case to ensure all statutory requirements are met, including residency and marital status verification. We also consider the principles of customary law where applicable and the impact of the Children Act, 2016 on any matters involving children. Understanding these legal frameworks is the first step towards a successful resolution.
