I am a firm believer that an attorney in a divorce action should act as a buffer between the parties and remove the emotions from the action, enabling the parties to reach a cost effective settlement favorable to both parties.
In 2014 the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development introduced a court-annexed mediation program in the district and regional courts, currently implemented in Gauteng and North West. As part of the program, mediation in all divorce proceedings will soon be mandatory.
My early exposure to Alternative Dispute Resolutions, including Mediation and Arbitration, is a valuable tool in court-annexed mediation programs to the benefit of clients.
We attend to all aspects of family law, including:
- Adoptions
- Divorce Actions
- Ante-Nuptial Agreements
- Maintenance Applications
- Family Violence Interdicts.
