Khula / Divorce Lawyer Services

KHULALAYER files khula cases in family courts across Pakistan and stays with you until your divorce certificate is in your hands. We also handle haq mehr, maintenance, child custody and dowry recovery.

How khula works in Pakistan

Every case is different, but most follow these stages. We handle each one for you.

  1. We file your suit in the family court

    We prepare the khula petition with your Nikah Nama and CNIC, and file it in the family court of your district.

  2. The court summons your husband

    Notices are sent to him. If he doesn't appear, the case can proceed without him.

  3. Reconciliation hearing

    The court gives a chance to reconcile. If you don't wish to continue the marriage, we make that clear on your behalf.

  4. Khula decree is issued

    When reconciliation fails, the court grants khula and decides on the return of haq mehr where applicable.

  5. Union Council certificate

    We send the decree to the Union Council and follow up until the divorce effectiveness certificate is issued.

  6. NADRA divorce certificate

    Finally, your divorce is registered with NADRA and your record is updated.

Common questions

Do I need my husband's permission for khula?

No. Khula is granted by the family court. Your husband is given notice and a chance to appear, but his agreement is not required.

I live abroad. Can I still file?

Yes. In most cases you can appoint an attorney through a power of attorney attested at the Pakistani embassy or consulate, and we pursue the case for you in Pakistan.

Will I have to return my haq mehr?

It depends on your case. The court may ask for the return of dower or benefits received. We'll explain what applies to you before filing.

What documents do I need?

Usually your CNIC, a copy of your Nikah Nama, and your husband's address. If you don't have the Nikah Nama, we can help obtain a copy.

Can I claim custody and maintenance at the same time?

Yes. Maintenance, custody and dowry claims can be filed alongside or after the khula suit.
