📣 Thinking of Divorce? Here's What You Should Know ⚖️
When children are involved, it's not just about the split — it's about their best interests. The Children’s Act 38 of 2005 outlines important responsibilities and rights that divorcing parents need to be aware of.

✅ Sections like 6, 7, 18, 28, 33 & 34 cover care, contact, guardianship, and how to approach parenting plans.

👩‍⚖️ If you’re navigating a DIY divorce, you can approach the Family Advocate’s office for help with parenting plans and to make sure your arrangements are in the best interest of your child.

Public Service Announcement

We are currently investigating reports of an individual falsely posing as an Attorney usually at the Magistrate Court in Mbombela targeting vulnerable clients without representation saying he works for the firm purportedly named 'Themba or Thabo something.' We urge the public to exercise caution.

To verify the legitimacy of any attorney or law firm, we strongly advise consulting the official website of the Legal Practice Council and reviewing the list of registered attorneys and associated firms. It is crucial to ensure that the person claiming affiliation with a particular firm is indeed listed on the LPC website.

Please be aware that there are numerous scammers and opportunists targeting the public. Protect yourself by conducting due diligence before engaging with any legal professional.

Stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

FOREIGN LOVE & MARRIAGE SCAMS: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

Also, on a shocking episode of on Moja Love, a South African woman opened up about her heartbreaking experience. She married an Indian man, believing in love, only to later discover he only wanted South African citizenship. He offered her R1,000 upfront and R300 per month, turning what she thought was a genuine relationship into a painful deception.

Sadly, many South Africans find themselves trapped in similar marriages, whether it started with love or a promise of money, only to be abandoned and unable to locate their spouse. But you don’t have to stay stuck!

✅ South African law allows you to dissolve the marriage, even if your spouse has disappeared and free yourself from the marriage.

We are here to assist you take back your freedom today!

DID YOU KNOW?

In South African customary law, if you paid lobola AND celebrated the marriage according to custom, it is legally recognized as a full marriage.
This means you cannot dissolve the marriage through a family meeting, you MUST obtain a formal divorce order from the court.
The marriage has full legal standing, affecting property, inheritance, and future marriages. Failure to get a court ordered divorce can lead to serious legal complications.

How We Helped Our Client

Recently, we successfully handled the dissolution of a customary marriage. Our client had the original lobola agreement, where the full bride price was not paid, but all customary rituals had been observed. Most family members would say "uyakweleta ngoba akakhiphi yonke so kute Mshado".......meaning the full amount was not paid so there is no marrriage. A valid marriage still exists.

Despite a family meeting taking place, the customary marriage was legally recognized, and we secured a decree of divorce for our client. This ensured their legal freedom and protected their rights.

Don't assume unpaid lobola is a valid reason to dispute a customary marriage, ensure your divorce is legally recognized!

📢 DID YOU KNOW?

Registering a customary marriage is like setting the record straight nje ! It’s more than a formality; it’s a safeguard.When a customary marriage is registered, it makes things like maintenance, inheritance, and property rights so much clearer.

Think about it like this: As old as time.... even Judas claimed he didn’t know JESUS! 😅 So, who are you – Sbari/Makot!... Don’t let your marriage be "ambiguous." If lobola was paid and all traditional customs were completed, go register that marriage before it’s too late.

And heads up, my Dhiye – if your partner skips town and marries someone else, you could still be legally married! Formal divorce in court is a must. Protect your rights. 🖊️💍
