How do I claim jointly acquired property after divorce?
Jointly acquired matrimonial property (harta sepencarian) is claimed in the Syariah Court and divided according to each party's contribution during the marriage.
Jointly acquired matrimonial property is property acquired together during the marriage, whether through direct contributions (money, loan repayments) or indirect ones (running the household, caring for the children). Act 303, s.122 (and the equivalent sections in state Enactments) empowers the court to divide it.
Prepare evidence: titles, bank statements, receipts and evidence of contributions. The claim can be made together with the divorce application or afterwards. It is a Malay customary practice accepted by the Shariah. See talaq & divorce.
