Divorce and Seperation

To get a divorce in Sri Lanka you are required to prove fault on the other side, like adultery, impotency, or desertion, as mutual consent is not recognised as a ground for divorce. The process of obtaining a divorce can take from 3-4 months to over a year, depending on whether the case is contested. Our divorce lawyers can help you to finalise your family law matter and move forward with your life following the breakdown of the relationship. 

Child Custody

In Sri Lanka, child custody law prioritizes the “best interests of the child” as the primary factor in determining custody arrangements, meaning the court will decide who gets custody based on what is considered best for the child’s welfare, rather than automatically favoring one parent over the other. Our family lawyers can assist with legal matters that include the well-being of children, child custody, child abduction, international relocations of children, child support, and international legal matters involving children. 

Domestic or Family Violence

If you or someone you know has suffered from domestic or family violence, a restraining order — also known as a protection order — may help protect you or the person in need of protection from future harm. A protection will order the other party not to commit domestic violence and be of good behaviour towards you. The same may also stop the person from attending your home or work, approaching or contacting you or other people named in the order. In urgent cases, a temporary order can be made before the full matter is considered.

As specialty family lawyers, we assist many people through domestic abuse legislation. We can assist parties if they are filing or responding to a  protection order. 

Spousal and Child Maintenance

If you’re navigating a complex family situation and wondering, “Can I claim maintenance?” or “Am I obligated to pay maintenance?”, you’re not alone. Maintenance is a critical area of law that directly affects spouses and children.  As family lawyers, we are here to assist you navigate the complexities of maintenance law in Sri Lanka and make sure that yours and your children’s interests are protected.
