Can I file for divorce in Pakistan while living abroad?

Yes. Overseas Pakistanis can execute a power of attorney attested by the Pakistan consulate or High Commission; KKR Associates then files and appears on your behalf without you needing to travel.

Will khula affect my right to mehr and dowry?

In khula, the wife may be required to return the haq mehr received. Dowry articles (jahez) remain her property and can be recovered in the same suit.

Do you handle custody at the same time?

Yes. We regularly combine divorce/khula with custody (hizanat) and maintenance petitions so the family matter is resolved holistically.

Is a court divorce necessary if we both agree?

By mutual consent (mubarat) the husband can still pronounce talaq and follow the Union Council procedure; a Family Court suit is not required unless one party contests.
