Family law covers the arrangements that matter most: who children live with, contact with the other parent, child maintenance, adoption and protection from abuse. The Children's Act 38 of 2005 puts the best interests of the child first, and the Maintenance Act 99 of 1998 lets you approach the maintenance court directly. A family lawyer helps when the other party will not cooperate or the matter is urgent.
Divorces are heard by the Regional Court or the High Court, while maintenance and protection orders are dealt with at the magistrate's court.
