Your Preferred Legal Partner In Uncontested Divorce Matters In South Africa
WHAT DOES AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE ENTAIL IN SOUTH AFRICAN LAW?
An uncontested or unopposed divorce is where both parties agree on the terms and conditions of their divorce. Both parties may consult with the same impartial attorney and work together to decide on the terms. Because there is no formal trial, only the plaintiff (the party who brings a case against another in a court of Law) appears in Court. In the Higher Courts, the plaintiff may also depose to an evidence affidavit, and not appear at all.
An uncontested divorce is the least emotionally and financially draining and may take four to six weeks to conclude. The chosen uncontested divorce attorney consults with both parties and drafts the settlement agreement once the parties agree on the terms. The agreement is signed by both parties and is made an order of the Court.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS TO BE AGREED UPON IN AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE?
Uncontested divorces are considered to be the most uncomplicated and least probable to create lengthy agreed-upon terms in the divorce settlement agreement. It is, however, notable and strongly advised to still work closely with our experienced uncontested divorce lawyers in South Africa that will ensure that both spouses/parties are treated fairly. Below are the terms that will be agreed upon before settling:
The division of the parties’ assets, liabilities and properties.
The division of debts incurred.
Child custody and parental rights and responsibilities of children.
Maintenance for children.
Spousal maintenance.
The primary residence of minor children.
