Married couples in Malaysia who mutually agree to part ways amicably and can reach an agreement on child custody, alimony, and marital asset division, can proceed with a mutual consent divorce by filing a Joint Petition to the court.
To begin the divorce process in Malaysia, the following documents are needed:
-
Applicant's IC/ passport
-
Marriage certificate
-
The child’s birth certificate
-
A deposit for legal fees
In divorce cases involving asset distribution in Malaysia, additional specific documents are required:
-
For properties: The Sale and Purchase Agreement or the property’s title deed
-
For vehicles: The vehicle registration card from JPJ
-
Or other proofs of assets
If any required documents are missing, assistance can be obtained from Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN), Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ), or from lawyers.
