Divorce Lawyer Johor Bahru
Founded by Mr. S. K. Song back in 1980, this Johor Bahru practice grew from a single office into a multi-branch firm serving families, business owners, and individuals across the southern region. What started as a one-man chambers now handles everything from contested divorces to complex land matters.
Mr. Song Sing Kwee leads the Pelangi and Tun Aminah branches, while partner Mr. Goh Tiong Sin heads the Johor Jaya office. Mr. Lim Kim Siong oversees day-to-day operations at the Mutiara Mas branch, keeping each location responsive to the communities they serve.

Family disputes rarely come with a warning. When they arrive, you need counsel that is both sharp and understanding — not a conveyor-belt service that treats your situation like a file number.
Confidential & Private
Every detail stays between us. Client confidentiality isn't a buzzword here — it is built into how we work from the first meeting.
Mediation-First Approach
Whenever the situation allows, we steer matters toward settlement rather than a drawn-out court battle. That saves time, money, and stress.

Family Law FAQ
The first step is scheduling a consultation so we can understand your circumstances. From there, we prepare and file the petition, serve the documents to the other party, and represent you through every court appearance — whether the divorce is by mutual consent or contested.
Yes, under certain conditions. Cross-border divorces involve procedural nuances that differ from local filings, but our firm has handled many of these cases over the years. We will walk you through the specific requirements during your first consultation.
Courts in Malaysia decide custody based on the child's welfare and best interests. That means looking at the child's age, each parent's capacity to provide care, schooling continuity, and — where the child is old enough — their own preference. We prepare thoroughly so your side of the story is heard clearly.
Costs depend on complexity — an uncontested petition naturally costs less than one that goes to trial. What we can promise is transparency: during the initial consultation we lay out all anticipated fees upfront, no hidden charges, no surprises down the line.
Uncontested divorces can wrap up within a matter of months. Contested ones take longer because of court scheduling and the back-and-forth of arguments and evidence. At your first meeting we will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.
Absolutely. We assist with fresh maintenance applications, applications to vary existing orders, and enforcement when payments fall behind. Our goal is an arrangement that is fair to both parties and sustainable over time.
