Divorce is one of the most difficult life decisions, both emotionally and legally. In Nepal, the process of divorce and separation is governed by the Muluki Civil Code, 2017 (2074), which outlines the grounds, procedures, and legal consequences of ending a marriage.
At Mijar Law Associates, we understand the emotional challenges of divorce. Our experienced family lawyers provide compassionate guidance and strong legal representation, ensuring your rights are protected while seeking a fair and peaceful resolution.
