Vir n 6 jarige seuntjie kan dit baie moeilik wees om te probeer sin maak van die lewe, veral as daar maatjies is wat heeltyd rondom hom vloek, stoute prente op die televisie kyk en ook lelik is met ander maatjies. Luciano is al vir amper 4 jaar in pleegsorg by n wonderlike gesin wat […]

JANUWORRY 🥺💸🔦🛒

You know it. Putting petrol in the car with the gauge hardly lifting, buying electricity and hardly getting units. Everyone is trying to save a few bucks by cutting back on payments, which, unfortunately, includes payments towards child maintenance.

Is it good to cut costs on luxuries? Absolutely ✅
Is it a good idea to default or pay less maintenance? Well, if your looking for jail time... 🚔

The Maintenance Act 99 of 1998 enforces the COMMON LAW DUTY on parents to support their children. 👨‍👩‍👦🤱🧑‍🍼

This 'duty of support' refers to:

🔹 Support needed by children for a proper living and upbringing ❤️
🔹 Food 🍎
🔹 Clothing 🧦
🔹 Accommodation 🏠
🔹 Medical Care 🚑
🔹 Education 🎓

These are not considered as luxuries - these are NECESSITIES ‼️

But what if the person against whom the order is made, is unable to maintain the child at an amount which becomes unaffordable?

Here's what you DON'T do:

🚫 Do not stop or skip payments because of affordability - you can be prosecuted, facing fines or jail time 🚨
🚫 Remember, paying maintenance does not guarantee contact with a child
🚫 Do not start fresh conflict with the primary caregiver

Here's what you DO do:

✅ Contact our offices to set up an appointment where we will apply for a reduction or variation in Maintenance 📞
✅ Treat all parties involved with respect and in the best interest of the child(ren) involved.
