Divorce and separation are some of the most emotionally charged legal processes a person can face. In Kenya, divorce is governed by the Marriage Act, 2014, which outlines valid grounds for ending a civil, customary, Christian, Hindu, or Islamic marriage. Grounds may include cruelty, adultery, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Key issues that often arise during divorce include:
Division of matrimonial property
Child custody and maintenance
Spousal support (alimony)
Protection from domestic violence (where applicable)
Separation, whether informal or formal (judicial separation), allows spouses to live apart without fully dissolving the marriage. It can be a step toward reconciliation or a pathway to divorce.
