A consultation makes it possible to determine whether the case can be handled remotely or if a specific formality requires the client's presence, a specific document, or the intervention of another authority.

Court jurisdiction cannot be determined solely by the location where the webpage is accessed. It must be verified based on the facts and documents of the case.
When spouses wish to end their marriage by mutual agreement, a divorce procedure by mutual consent can be examined. The agreement must be studied carefully, particularly when it concerns children, alimony, housing, assets, or documents to be signed.
Before signing an agreement, it is recommended to verify:
An amicable agreement should not be presented as a guarantee of timeframes or results. The court and the applicable formalities remain the deciding factors.

Child custody, or Hadana, concerns the care and protection of the child. Cases involving parents in Casablanca may also address the child's residence, visitation rights, schooling, health, and practical arrangements for communication between parents.
The initial review may take into account:
The parent who does not have custody may retain visitation rights. The terms can be defined by agreement or set by the court in the event of a disagreement. Any agreement must be reviewed before signing.
Alimony, often called Nafaqa, may concern children or result from obligations related to marriage and separation. The amount depends on the applicable rules, the needs of the beneficiary, the resources of the person liable to pay, and the evidence presented.
For a case located in Casablanca, useful documents may include:
No amount can be reliably stated without examining the documents and the circumstances of the case. A general estimate published on the internet does not replace the court's assessment.
Marriage or mixed family cases may require both Moroccan and foreign documents. They may also raise issues regarding translation, legalization, registration, transcription, or recognition.
A consultation may cover:
Formalities vary depending on the document, the country of issuance, the nationality of the parties, and the procedure involved. It is best to verify the requirements before submitting a foreign document.
Inheritances may involve heirs in Casablanca, another city in Morocco, or abroad. They may also concern real estate, civil status documents, accounts, debts, or disagreements between heirs.

Remote support may include:
A remote consultation does not mean that all hearings or formalities can be carried out without personal presence. This must be verified for each procedure.
Contact the firm by phone, email, or WhatsApp. State that you reside in Casablanca and briefly specify the nature of your request.
Present the facts in chronological order. Indicate the individuals involved, their place of residence, the existence of children, and any known deadlines.
Submit the documents useful for the initial review. This may include a marriage certificate, a court decision, a summons, a birth certificate, an identity document, or a document relating to property.
The lawyer examines the information provided and indicates the main issues to verify. This step distinguishes a general inquiry from a case requiring a more extensive assignment.

When you have them, please prepare in particular:
Only submit useful documents. Avoid posting sensitive personal information in a public comment or on an unsecured channel.
