Best advice on finding a top divorce lawyer for your divorce case  in Wynberg, Cape Town

Do you live in Wynberg, and are you considering divorcing your spouse? Or have you been threatened with divorce? Either way, a divorce is a legal matter, and it is best to find sound legal advice or assistance. Furthermore, divorcing someone has potential severe legal consequences you may not know of. The first consequence, of course, is that you are no longer married to your former spouse, and there is no legal obligation to maintain each other (unless you qualify for alimony). You may also not inherit from your former spouse’s intestate. Lastly, and obviously, you are free to marry someone else. However, do you know of the proprietary (property) consequences of getting a divorce? What about the assets and debt you and your spouse incurred in Wynberg or elsewhere during your marriage? Do you know what should happen to it? If not, it is best you find out about these critical aspects and others before getting divorced. Then there is the issue of parental responsibilities and rights after the divorce should there be minor children involved. This article aims to provide guidance on finding the best attorney or advocate for your divorce matter that can adequately and properly advise you or handle your divorce. The advice would apply whether you live in Wynberg or anywhere else in South Africa. The issues we shall deal with are the following.
  • Gender of the Advocate or attorney;
  • Location of the Advocate or attorney;
  • Experience of the Advocate or attorney;
  • Costs of the Advocate or Attorney; and
  • The personality of the Advocate or Attorney.

What is the best gender of the Advocate or Attorney I need to use for my divorce? Is a male or female better?

Generally, the gender of your Advocate or Attorney should not play a role at all in a legal matter. However, depending on your background and the issues involved in your divorce, you may prefer a specific gender where you may feel more comfortable. A female who has been emotionally, physically and psychologically abused may be more comfortable with a female Attorney or Advocate. However, the same female client may prefer a male Advocate or Attorney. No more will be said on this issue.

What is the ideal office location of the Advocate or attorney? Does it have to be in Wynberg?

The location or office of your attorney or Advocate is essential if you wish to consult with them in person. It is also ideal, but not necessary, for their offices to be close to the Court where the divorce would be handled. However, many lawyers make use of correspondent lawyers for this purpose. Furthermore, location should not be an issue if you want a specific lawyer to handle your case. This is so especially seeing that people are making use of virtual meetings.

What level of experience should the Advocate or attorney have?

It is important to remember that not all legal matters require the best lawyer. If your divorce is straightforward, finding the best lawyer in the field is unnecessary. The best may be very busy and lack the time to give your case the attention it deserves. However, if your matter is complicated, then in that case, the most experienced and best lawyer out there is not warranted.

What about the Costs of an Attorney or Advocate?

For many, the costs of the Attorney or Advocate are the most crucial consideration when it comes to enlisting their services. Usually, the more experienced the Attorney or Advocate, the more they would charge. Another aspect that affects costs is the nature of the expertise of the Advocate or Attorney. If the issues in your matter are highly technical and complicated, an Advocate or Attorney with expertise and experience may charge more.

What about the personality of the Advocate or Attorney?

Many may discard the Advocate or Attorney’s personality as not important. However, it is essential to note that it may be time to change lawyers if you do not get along well with the Advocate or Attorney because of their personality. A lawyer and their client would develop a professional relationship in family law matters. This is especially so when the lawyer must discuss many personal issues regarding you, your marriage, children, finance, spouse etc. If you cannot get along well with your Attorney or Advocate, you may not divulge important information relevant to your case.

What is our best advice to a client looking for an Advocate or Attorney in a divorce matter?

Considering all the factors mentioned above, before enlisting the services of an Advocate or Attorney, ensure you enlist the right one. Do not look for the most experience or best, or the top one in family law. You may have to change lawyers if you do so and cannot afford legal bills. Therefore consider the above and any other factors that you may consider necessary when deciding on enlisting the services of an Advocate or an Attorney. Best of luck.

Relocation and repatriation of minor children during the South African National lockdown. Is it possible if there is no consent from the other parent?

Many parents before the lockdown had the intention to relocate to another country. It goes without saying that whatever plans they had to relocate at the start of the lockdown, was placed on hold. Having passed day 100 of the national lockdown, things have since changed.  Domestic travel has been allowed under certain circumstances and many people have been repatriated to their home countries. International travel, other than that for repatriation is allowed under certain circumstances. We advise those parents who wish to leave South Africa to consult the relevant regulations and the laws applicable to the country you wish to travel when deciding to leave South Africa.

The high unemployment rate in South Africa due to the National Lockdown

Then there is the issue of unemployment. The South African economy is not in good shape, and many businesses have closed due to the lockdown and COVID-19.  Many people lost their jobs and various forms of income due to the pandemic. Not being able to work, means not being able to pay for accommodation, food, clothing and school fees, to mention a few. Those people who lost their jobs may wish to seek employment and other economic opportunities abroad. For such parents, relocation may be the best option for them and the child concerned. If repatriation is possible, this option may be better.

Gaudian consent is required for the repatriation or relocation of minor children

But what about those parents who may relocate with their minor children, but does not have the consent of the other parent. What can that parent do under those circumstances? As the law stands, both parents who have parental responsibilities and rights of guardianship must consent for the removal of the minor child from South Africa. A mother naturally has guardianship rights over her child. Father’s, on the other hand, would have full guardianship rights over the child if he was married to the mother or if he materially formed part of the child’s life. If he was just part of the conception of the child, and never married the mother, then he would not have any guardianship rights.

If no consent is obtained, then the Court should be approached

If a parent, wishes to relocate overseas, or repatriate with a minor child, and the other parent does not want to consent thereto, then the Court must be approached for the necessary consent. At the end of the day, the court would decide and look at what is in the child’s best interests. Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, this factor would now also be considered. The court would have to consider the state of the pandemic in South Africa, as well as the country to which the parent wishes to relocate, with a range of the usual factors.

Legal Articles on the relocation of minor children

Have a look at the following articles on the issue of relocation of minor children. Passport Application of a Minor Child and Consent – Department of Home Affairs Consent for a minor child for relocation and passport application Frequently asked questions regarding relocation and consent when it comes to minor children I want to relocate with my minor child. what do I need to know with regard to the law?
