Going through a divorce is hard. We make the legal side clear.
Experienced divorce attorneys who explain your options plainly and stand firmly on your side.
Divorce is one of the most emotionally and financially significant decisions you will ever face. The choices you make now about your assets, your home and your children will shape the years ahead. You should not have to navigate that alone, or guess what your rights are. Our attorneys sit down with you, explain exactly where you stand, and help you find a way forward — calmly, clearly and firmly on your side.
Confidential, judgement-free. No obligation at your first consultation.
Affordable, transparent fees — no surprise costs.
Quality legal help should be within reach. We explain our fees clearly and upfront at your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.
What we help you with
Whether your divorce is straightforward or complicated, we cover every aspect:
Uncontested divorce
When both spouses agree on all terms, we guide you through the process as efficiently as possible under the Divorce Act 70 of 1979, with clear paperwork and no unnecessary delays.
Contested divorce
When agreement cannot be reached, we represent you firmly in the High Court or Regional Court, protecting your interests on assets, maintenance and the children.
Division of assets
We help you understand how your matrimonial property system (community of property, or out of community with or without accrual) determines what you are each entitled to under the Divorce Act 70 of 1979.
Maintenance
We assist with child and spousal maintenance claims, variations and enforcement under the Maintenance Act 99 of 1998, so a fair amount is agreed or ordered.
Parenting plans and custody
We help you put care, contact and guardianship arrangements in writing under the Children's Act 38 of 2005, always focused on the children's best interests.
Protection orders
Where there is harassment or domestic violence, we assist urgently with protection orders under the Domestic Violence Act 116 of 1998 to keep you and your children safe.
How it works
A private, honest consultation
You tell us your situation in confidence. We listen carefully, ask the right questions, and give you a clear, honest picture of your options — with no jargon and no pressure.
We explain the route forward
We outline the contested or uncontested path, realistic timelines, and the likely costs, so you can make an informed decision before any work begins.
Settlement negotiation
Where possible, we work towards a fair settlement agreement covering assets, maintenance and the children. Settling is almost always faster, less expensive and less stressful than going to trial.
Summons and court process (if needed)
If settlement cannot be reached, we issue summons and prepare your case properly for court, representing you firmly at every hearing.
Decree of divorce
We finalise the settlement agreement or court order and obtain your decree of divorce, so you can move forward with certainty.
