Matrimonial Property Division

At NNTA & Co, we assist clients in navigating the division of matrimonial assets during or following divorce proceedings under Malaysian civil law. The equitable distribution of property is often one of the most contested aspects of a family dispute, and our support is designed to protect your financial interests.

Please note: We advise on matrimonial property division under civil law only. We do not handle harta sepencarian or other matrimonial asset matters governed by Syariah law.

The court exercises discretion under the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, taking into account each spouse's financial and non-financial contributions to the marriage, the welfare of the children, the duration of the marriage, and each party's earning capacity and financial needs going forward.
