Common Questions

We're Happy to Explain

Understanding your situation is the first step. Here are answers to questions we hear often.

What happens during an initial consultation?

An initial consultation at Oakhelm is a private, unhurried conversation where we listen to your circumstances before offering any guidance. There is no pressure to make decisions during the session. We aim to help you understand your position clearly and at your own pace.

How long does a divorce proceeding typically take in Malaysia?

Timelines vary depending on whether the matter is contested and the complexity of the arrangements involved. Uncontested proceedings under civil law often conclude within several months, whereas contested matters or those with complex custody or asset considerations may take longer. We will give you a realistic picture based on your specific situation.

Can Oakhelm handle matters under syariah jurisdiction?

Yes. Our divorce and separation advisory covers both civil and syariah jurisdictions in Malaysia. We will advise you on which legal framework applies to your circumstances and guide you accordingly.

How are fees structured for family law matters?

Our fees are communicated transparently at the outset. The starting prices listed reflect the scope of each service as a baseline. More complex matters may involve additional stages, and we will outline any projected costs clearly before proceeding, so there are no surprises.

Will my information remain confidential?

Absolutely. Solicitor-client privilege applies to all communications with Oakhelm. We treat every matter with the utmost discretion, and your information will never be shared outside what is legally necessary for your case.

What if my spouse and I are trying to reach an amicable settlement?

We welcome collaborative approaches. Many of our clients prefer to resolve matters without protracted proceedings, and we can support negotiation and documentation of agreed terms — particularly for asset division and parenting arrangements — while ensuring your interests are properly represented.
