General information only
Divorce Guide gives general information only. It helps you understand civil divorce and family law in Malaysia under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164).
Reading this site, or messaging us, does not create a lawyer-client relationship between you and anyone connected with this site.
Speak to a qualified lawyer
Every divorce is different. This site can explain the general steps, costs and timelines, but it cannot replace advice on your own situation.
Before you make any legal decision, speak to a qualified family lawyer admitted to the Malaysian Bar. A lawyer can look at your facts, explain your rights and duties, and act for you in court if needed.
Accuracy
We work to keep this site accurate and up to date. But the law changes through new legislation, court rules and court decisions, so we cannot promise every page shows the latest position when you read it.
If something looks out of date, please send us your feedback.
No liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Divorce Guide and its contributors accept no liability for any loss, damage or inconvenience from using or relying on any information on this site.
Links to other sites
This site links to other websites for reference. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their accuracy or availability.
Scope
This site covers only civil (non-Muslim) divorce under Act 164. It does not cover Syariah court matters.
