Frequently asked questions
How long does a divorce for discord (chiqaq) take in Morocco?
Article 97 of the Family Code provides that the court must rule on a petition for divorce for discord within a period not exceeding six months from the date it is filed. In practice, the length also depends on summonses, reconciliation attempts and the parties' attendance at hearings. This period applies at first instance: an appeal can extend the proceedings.
What documents are needed for a divorce petition?
Generally: a copy of the marriage certificate, the national identity card, the children's birth certificates and evidence of both spouses' financial situation (salary, rent, expenses). Depending on the case, other documents may help, for example about the marital home or the causes of the discord. We give you a precise list at the first meeting.
