Family litigation without travel
Your case filed and conducted in the Pakistani courts while you remain abroad.
Family law for overseas Pakistanis — without the travel
Wherever you live, we represent you in family matters back home in Pakistan — in most cases without you ever needing to travel.
Distance should not put justice out of reach. Whether you are in London, Toronto, New York, Dubai or Sydney, we act for overseas Pakistanis in family matters in Pakistan — and for most clients the entire case can be handled remotely.
We act through a Special Power of Attorney, so your matter can be filed, contested and concluded in the Pakistani courts while you stay where you are. We prepare the documentation, keep you updated across time zones, and appear in court on your behalf.

Good to know
Can you represent me without my travelling to Pakistan?
In most cases, yes. By appointing us through a Special Power of Attorney — signed and attested at the Pakistani embassy or high commission in your country — we can file and conduct your family matter in Pakistan on your behalf. We will tell you at the outset if your personal attendance is genuinely required.
How does the Power of Attorney work?
You execute a Special Power of Attorney naming us and describing the matter; it is attested at the Pakistani mission in your country and then relied upon to act for you in the Pakistani courts. We prepare the document and guide you through each step.
Can I get a khula while living abroad?
Yes. Khula is pursued through the Family Court in Pakistan and can be conducted through a Power of Attorney. The court attempts reconciliation and may grant khula even without the husband’s consent; dower (haq mehr) is ordinarily returned or forgone in a khula, depending on the facts.
I divorced abroad — is it valid in Pakistan?
It depends on how the divorce was obtained. A talaq pronounced abroad generally still needs to follow the notice procedure under section 7 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance 1961 to be effective in Pakistan. We advise on the standing of a foreign divorce and the steps needed to have it recognised or made effective here.
Which countries’ clients do you assist?
We regularly assist Pakistanis in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia, the Gulf (including the UAE and Saudi Arabia) and across Europe — and are glad to help clients elsewhere.
