Child custody cases are among the most sensitive in family law, as they directly impact a child’s well-being and future. At Nkatha and Company Advocates, we handle custody matters with the utmost care, professionalism, and focus on the best interests of the child — as required by the Children Act, 2022.
There are different types of custody arrangements in Kenya, including:
- Legal Custody – the right to make major decisions about the child’s life
- Physical/Actual Custody (Residence) – where the child primarily lives
- Joint Custody – shared parental responsibilities and access
- Visitation/Contact Rights – structured access for the non-custodial parent
We assist clients in:
Negotiating and formalizing parenting plans
Filing for custody or visitation orders in court
Enforcing or modifying existing custody arrangements
Resolving parental disputes through mediation or litigation
Handling international child custody concerns
Whether you’re going through a separation, divorce, or guardianship matter, we prioritize stability, safety, and meaningful parent-child relationships.
At Nkatha Advocates, we know that every family is unique. We take time to listen and tailor our legal solutions to protect both your rights and your child’s emotional and developmental needs.
