A divorce in South Africa is granted under the Divorce Act 70 of 1979, by a Regional Court or the High Court. If you and your spouse agree on everything, an uncontested divorce with a signed settlement agreement is usually the quickest and cheapest route. If you disagree about the children, maintenance or how the estate is split, the matter is contested and a lawyer becomes far more important.
Divorces are heard by the Regional Court or the High Court, while maintenance and protection orders are dealt with at the magistrate's court. Local matters are heard at the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court at 17 Monument Road, Kempton Park. The nearest Office of the Family Advocate is in Johannesburg, about 20 km away: Office of the Family Advocate, Johannesburg, 13th Floor, Schreiner Chambers, 94 Pritchard Street, Johannesburg, 2000. The Family Advocate looks after the interests of children in divorce and care disputes. The nearest Legal Aid SA office is in Tembisa, about 12 km away: Legal Aid SA Tembisa Local Office, Shop 42, Tembisa MegaMart Mall, Botswana Road, Tswelopelo Section, Tembisa. Legal Aid helps people who pass its means test, mainly in criminal, family and eviction matters.
If both spouses sign a settlement agreement and the papers are in order, an uncontested divorce is often finalised in a few weeks to a few months, depending on how busy the court is. Contested divorces can take much longer.
It is possible to use the court's self-help process, but a lawyer helps make sure the settlement agreement properly covers the children, maintenance, pension interests and property, which is hard to fix later.
Ask how many divorces the firm handles, whether they offer mediation, how they charge (a fixed fee for uncontested divorces is common) and which court they will use. Compare two or three firms from the list above before you decide.
