When parents separate or divorce, child custody becomes a critical issue. At Muthii W.M & Associates, we are recognized as the best child custody lawyers in Kenya, ensuring that the child’s best interests remain the top priority in custody disputes.

Understanding Child Custody in Kenya
Child custody in Kenya is governed by the Children’s Act, 2022, which prioritizes the welfare of the child in all legal decisions. Custody can be:

✅ Legal Custody – The right to make major decisions about the child’s upbringing.
✅ Physical Custody – Determines where the child lives.
✅ Joint Custody – Shared parental responsibilities between both parents.
✅ Sole Custody – Granted when one parent is deemed unfit or unable to care for the child.

Factors Courts Consider in Child Custody Cases
The court considers several factors before granting custody:

✔ Child’s Best Interests – The child's safety, education, and emotional well-being.
✔ Parental Fitness – The mental, physical, and financial ability of each parent.
✔ Child’s Age – Courts often favor the mother for children under 10 unless proven unfit.
✔ Existing Parent-Child Relationship – The level of involvement of each parent.
✔ Child’s Wishes – If the child is old enough to express a preference.

A three-month fostering period is required before proceeding with legal adoption.
