FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a khula case take?
Khula cases typically take 3-6 months depending on court schedules and whether the husband contests. We expedite the process through efficient legal procedures.
Who gets child custody in Pakistan?
Generally, mothers get custody of young children (sons until 7, daughters until puberty). However, courts decide based on child's best interest and circumstances.
What is the maintenance amount?
Maintenance depends on the husband's income, living standards, and children's needs. Courts determine reasonable amounts based on evidence and circumstances.
