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.
