South African Law and Family
South African family law is informed by various legislative acts and the Constitution. Key areas include marriage, civil unions, customary marriages, divorce, child custody and maintenance, domestic violence, and adoption. Our legal system prioritizes the best interests of the child in all family law matters.

The Process of family law
The specific process in family law cases depends on the nature of the issue. Here’s a general overview:
- Consultation: You’ll meet with an attorney to discuss your situation, explore legal options, and determine the best course of action.
- Mediation (Optional): In some cases, mediation can be a more amicable way to resolve disputes outside of court.
- Negotiation: Your attorney will negotiate on your behalf to reach a mutually agreeable settlement whenever possible.
- Litigation (if necessary): If an agreement cannot be reached, your attorney will represent you effectively in court, advocating for your rights and interests.
