Divorce in Morocco is governed by the Family Code (Moudawana). Depending on the situation, the procedure is a mutual-consent divorce, a divorce for discord (chiqaq), a khol’ or a judicially supervised divorce, always before the family section of the first-instance court. The lawyers below, registered with the Fes bar, handle these procedures and what follows: child custody (hadana), alimony (nafaqa) and division of assets.

Maître Azzedine Benkirane has been a lawyer at the Fes Bar for more than 40 years.

A former President of the Fes Bar Association, he enjoys solid professional recognition and a perfect understanding of the challenges of the profession. His career is founded on excellence, integrity and the constant defence of his clients' interests.
A lawyer and Doctor of Business Law, I place at the service of a clientele - made up of individuals, executives and companies - in-depth legal expertise and a strategic vision of economic issues.
My practice covers all dimensions of business law, including commercial law, the law of companies in difficulty, financial law, tax law, employment law, civil law, real property law, [•••] etc., as well as business criminal law.
I act both in advisory and litigation matters, assisting my clients in structuring, securing and optimising their most sensitive and complex transactions.
My involvement follows a logic of anticipating risks, mastering regulatory constraints and creating lasting legal value, as long as it remains possible to prevent and avoid the risk. Should it occur and produce its consequences, I intervene to manage and limit the legal impacts, ensuring optimal protection of my clients' interests.
I make a point of providing tailor-made support, based on confidentiality, responsiveness and a fine understanding of my clients' strategic objectives.
With a high level of exigency, sharp expertise and rigorous commitment, I strive to establish relationships of trust, by providing legal solutions that match the ambitions and requirements of the clients I assist.
Jurisdiction: family section of the first-instance court of the marital home.
A conciliation attempt is mandatory before any divorce judgment; for chiqaq the court rules within six months at most (art. 97 of the Moudawana).
Core documents: marriage certificate, both spouses’ ID cards, family record book, proof of income for alimony.
Consequences to anticipate: custody, alimony, visitation rights, housing of the custodial mother and, where applicable, the consolation gift (mut’a).
A mutual-consent divorce is usually settled within a few months. A divorce for discord (chiqaq) must be decided by the court within six months at most. Actual timelines depend on the Fes court’s workload and any expert reports.
Do I need a lawyer to divorce?
The law does not require one in every case, but representation by a lawyer is standard practice before the family section: it secures the petition, the conciliation, the evidence and the calculation of rights (alimony, custody, mut’a).
How much does a divorce lawyer cost?
Fees are unregulated and depend on the procedure (mutual consent or contested), the children and the assets involved. Ask for a written fee agreement at the first meeting; several Fes lawyers display their rates or offer a first remote consultation.
