Divorce


It is an unfortunate fact of life that not all marriages are successful. When a relationship breaks down it is not unusual for one or both parties to take legal advice with a view to regulating the financial aspects of separation and ultimately divorce.

If there are children of the marriage under 16, it may be necessary to use the law to resolve disputes over residence and contact, formerly known as custody and access.

When both parties are satisfied that the marriage is over, it is normal to try to achieve a fair division of the family assets including the matrimonial home. In the majority of cases this is achieved by negotiation between solicitors and agreement between the parties. We emphasise negotiation and agreement rather than conflict and confrontation in the application of the principals of matrimonial law to the special circumstances of each individual case.

We can also advise you on family protection, domestic violence, interdicts, adoption, and child care proceedings.

We can make Legal Aid available in suitable cases. We are prepared to give a half hour initial interview in matrimonial cases free of charge to provide basic advice and ascertain whether legal input is required.
