I'm Legal Store's AI Handy. I gather the facts so a qualified Hong Kong solicitor can help you. I'm not a lawyer and I can't give legal advice. The firms rely on what you tell me, so please keep it accurate — and just say if you're not sure about something.

Insight of legal expert

Does it matter who files first?

Filing first does not decide who gets the children or the money. It affects timing and cost more than outcome — the party who files usually pays the court fees and sets the pace.

Why do firms ask when you separated?

How long you have lived apart affects which route the petition takes, and that changes both the timetable and the fee. An approximate month is usually enough.
