Family Law
Comprehensive, Confidential, and Compassionate Legal Solutions for Family Matters in Pakistan
Introduction to Family Law in Pakistan
Family matters can be deeply personal, emotionally complex, and legally intricate. In Pakistan, family law governs issues such as marriage, divorce, child custody, maintenance, inheritance, and guardianship, and is rooted in a combination of Islamic principles, statutory provisions, and judicial precedents.
​
At Bhatti Legal Consortium (BLC), we recognize that family disputes demand not only legal expertise but also empathy, confidentiality, and strategic handling. Our experienced team of family law experts provides comprehensive legal support to individuals and families across Pakistan, ensuring that your rights and interests are protected at every stage.

Financial insecurity due to improper maintenance arrangements
