Injunctions

A parent of a child may apply to the court for an injunction restraining the other parent from taking the child out of Malaysia under the following circumstances:

• Where any matrimonial proceedings is pending; or
• Where under any agreement or court order, one parent has custody of the child to the exclusion of the other parent. 

A court can also grant an injunction during matrimonial proceedings or after the grant of a decree of divorce, judicial separation or annulment to prevent the following actions:

• A person from forcing his or her society on his or her spouse or former spouse; or

• Other actions of molestations.  

Besides that, an injunction can also be granted by a court to prevent the disposition of property by a spouse, former spouse or parent of a person where the disposition of the property is with the objective of:

• Reducing his or her means to pay maintenance; or

• Depriving his or her spouse of any rights in relation to that property

A court can grant this injunction where:

• Matrimonial proceedings are pending;
• An order for division of assets has been made but not complied with;
• An order for maintenance (spousal or child) has been made and has not been rescinded; or
• Maintenance (spousal or child) is payable under an agreement
