How Much Does It Cost to Get a Divorce in Malaysia by TYH & Co. Trusted Divorce Lawyer in Malaysia

Getting a divorce for non-Muslim may seems to be an expensive affair in Malaysia. At least that is what you heard from your friends or family. So, how much does it cost to get a divorce in Malaysia? More importantly, what is the more affordable option available to get a divorce in Malaysia?

Basically, there are 2 ways to get a divorce in Malaysia for non-Muslim. They are known as joint petition (mutual divorce) & single petition (non-mutual divorce). Generally speaking, getting a divorce by way of joint petition is much cheaper and more affordable compared to getting a divorce by way of single petition.

What is Joint Petition & Single Petition

So, why is it cheaper to file for joint petition for divorce than filing for a single petition for divorce?

This is because for joint petition, both the husband and wife must consent to the divorce and agree to all the divorce terms including issues on custody of children (if any), maintenance of wife & children (if any) and division of the matrimonial assets.

The process to get a divorce by way of joint petition is pretty direct and straightforward as long as the divorce terms are voluntarily agreed upon.

On the other hand, to get a divorce by way of single petition, it will usually incur more cost due to the complexity of the process since there is no agreement in the first place.

In fact, if the single petition turns out to be contested (disputed), this will incur more cost since the case will be heading for trials in the court and there will be plenty of documents to be prepared by the divorce lawyer as well as court appearances.

Lastly, it is also important to note that some lawyers may charge disbursements and other miscellaneous cost separately. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you seek for full transparency on the legal fees involved for the divorce.

Conclusion

Getting a divorce may not be an easy decision. That is why it is best to ensure that your rights are well protected. It is also advisable to first seek for divorce settlement first in order to achieve an agreement between parties to save time and cost for divorce in Malaysia rather than spending unnecessary money fighting in the court.
