Frequently asked questions

How long does a divorce take in Rabat?
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 Rabat 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 Rabat lawyers display their rates or offer a first remote consultation.
