Frequently Asked Questions
The following are some frequently asked questions regarding Family Law.
Custody decisions in family law are primarily guided by the principle of acting in the child's best interests. This means that courts and legal authorities prioritize what is most beneficial for the child's overall well-being, safety, and development. Gender is not a determining factor in these decisions.
Instead, custody determinations are based on various factors, such as the child's age, physical and emotional needs, the ability of each parent to provide a stable and nurturing environment, their respective parenting skills, any history of abuse or neglect, and the child's established relationship with each parent. This approach aims to ensure that custody arrangements are fair and focused solely on the child's best interests, without prejudice based on gender stereotypes.
Antenuptial agreements contacts are for all people. South African marriage law automatically assumes that a couple was married in community of property unless an antenuptial contract was drafted beforehand. There are four main reasons why a couple should have an antenuptial contract before their marriage;
1. In community of property, debt and liability are shared equally amongst partners. If one partner has a large debt burden, it is automatically shared between the both of them. This affects the other partner's ability to take out a home loan, purchase a vehicle, become a director of a company etc.
2. While one does not go into a marriage thinking about divorce, it is appropriate that you protect yourself, your family and any future children you might have. An antenuptial contract with or without accrual defines the assets held by each individual and how your estate will be managed after your marriage.
3. Being open about your finances helps build a strong foundation for your marriage. A leading cause of divorce in South Africa is the non-disclosure of a partner's finances. An antenuptial contract requires that you and your partner have an open, honest and full disclosure of each other's full financial standing.
4. Should you or your partner decide to become a stay-at-home parent, an antenuptial contract can make sure that you are protected for the financial sacrifice you have made. It can guarantee that the stay-at-home parent receives just compensation for running the home, taking care of the children and creating an environment for the other partner to succeed in the business world.
