How we support you
As the Kingdom's administrative capital, Rabat is home to the ministries, the headquarters of the main public bodies, the Court of Cassation and a full set of first-instance and appeal courts. The firm is based here, in the heart of the Agdal district.
Rabat hosts the ministries, public institutions, embassies and many company headquarters. Cases here often combine administrative law, public procurement, civil service and business law, a few minutes from the firm.
Every family law case follows the same method: a confidential first meeting, analysis of the applicable law (Family Code, Code of Civil Procedure), a costed strategy with a fee agreement, then action before the Rabat Court of First Instance or the relevant public authority.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions on family law
How long do divorce proceedings take in Morocco?
Divorce by mutual consent is the fastest, often a few weeks after the attempt at reconciliation. Divorce for discord (chiqaq) must in principle be decided within six months of the application (art. 97 of the Family Code). Actual timescales depend on the court and on any expert reports.
Who is awarded custody of the children after a divorce?
Custody (hadana) is granted first to the mother, then to the father, then to the maternal grandmother (art. 171 of the Family Code), with the child's best interests remaining the judge's decisive criterion. The non-custodial parent keeps visiting rights and the father's legal guardianship continues.
Can the firm act for clients from Rabat?
Yes. The firm, based in Agdal, in the heart of the capital, pleads before the Rabat Court of First Instance and the competent courts of the Kingdom, in accordance with the judicial organisation. Meetings take place at the firm or by video call.
