Child custody legal advice and services
Child custody is a complex legal matter as it involves a number of factors to consider when handling a child custody case. Judging from our years of experience, we found that the parents involved often lose track of the bigger picture while emotions override. At our law offices, our job is to help parties involved keep a level head form a legal perspective and guide them as to what will be the best way forward. Sometimes a matter has been blown out of proportion while the parties involved often expect us to perform miracles – this is not how it works in the world of law. We have found that executing our legal expertise can become a very complicated ordeal when there is little co-operation. It is however, essential to highlight that the main responsibility of the family legal expert is to advise and guide you with the best way forward from a legal standpoint.

The Children’s Act 38 of 2005 – child access to grandparents

In doing so, we have constructed a number of family legal articles containing free, expert legal advice. We have used the common issues potential clients come to us with, as a guide as to what address in these articles. For instance, we had a legal a matter in which the grandparents wanted to know what their chances are in gaining custody over their grandchild. The family legal expert then stated the following using the Children’s Act 38 of 2005:

The Children’s Act 38 of 2005

The Children’s Act is the main piece of legislation dealing with matters concerning children. Section 2 of the Children’s Act deals with its objective. Reading it would give you some type of understanding regarding the Act. It is quoted as follows: “2 Objects of Act The objects of this Act are- (a) to promote the preservation and strengthening of families; (b) to give effect to the following constitutional rights of children, namely- (i) family care or parental care or appropriate alternative care when removed from the family environment; (ii) social services; (iii) protection from maltreatment, neglect, abuse or degradation; and (iv) that the best interests of a child are of paramount importance in every matter concerning the child; (c) to give effect to the Republic’s obligations concerning the well-being of children in terms of international instruments binding on the Republic; (d) to make provision for structures, services and means for promoting and monitoring the sound physical, psychological, intellectual, emotional and social development of children; (e) to strengthen and develop community structures which can assist in providing care and protection for children; (f) to protect children from discrimination, exploitation and any other physical, emotional or moral harm or hazards; (g) to provide care and protection to children who are in need of care and protection; (h) to recognise the special needs that children with disabilities may have; and (i) generally, to promote the protection, development and well-being of children.” As you can see, the Children’s Act’s object is very extensive, focused solely in the interests of the child. Now let us look at what does it say about the best interests of a child. For more information on this article, see Our only daughter is deceased.

The process – defending Protection Order in South Africa

First of all, a Protection Order or harassment order serves as a direct order from court which should be adhered to. Any violation of a court’s instruction can be legally detrimental. The court order granted, will only be suitable to the person suffering any form of violence or harassment. A Protection Order is mainly applicable in cases of domestic violence in which the perpetrator lives with the victim. In a case of harassment, the perpetrator is not living with the victim. This is where a harassment order comes in. The idea of the Order is to ensure that the violence/abuse do not recur and put a stop into it by restraining the offender doing the abuse or committing the violent acts. Below are brief steps outlined on how to go about obtaining a Protection Order at your local police station:

An affidavit must be made and an application form must be filled out. The application form can also be obtained online .
If you have a witness or confidante that knows about your abuse case, then you may want to take that person with you when obtaining a protection order.
The Court will then assess the application and will determine whether an Order is required.
Once the Court approves, only then will the Order have effect on the offender. Should the offender fail to adhere to the Order, the offender will be arrested.
