Frequently Asked Questions
How is child maintenance calculated in South Africa?
Both parents have a legal duty to maintain their children according to their means and the child’s reasonable needs. Maintenance covers food, clothing, housing, education and medical costs, in proportion to each parent’s income. We assist with applications, variations and enforcement.
What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce is one where both parties agree on all terms — it is faster and less costly. A contested divorce involves disputes over assets, maintenance or children that must be resolved through negotiation or court. We handle both.
