Baby Daddy left us April when our child was turning 2yrs..We have never seen him although he did try to make contact after he left, I allow him although I stopped and block him coz it seems like he wanted to call on his terms and when his partner would walk in he would immediately drop the call ..That was trauma for my child as she would call his name and when I call back, he wouldn't answer. ..After ignoring him he sent a text saying so long with her child I don't bother again but I hope you won't live to regret it.. Years later late , he called my parent wanting to come and talk to us about the child with his father ...Which they did but they just said they want to be help with finance and school but it ended on the visit at home..Now his back making demanding on co-parenting as it stands the child doesn't even know him...
I am seeking family law representation in Cape Town in relation to a customary marriage, spousal maintenance, and divorce proceedings under South African law. I am currently employed but financially constrained due to spousal abandonment and exclusion from marital resources. As a result, I am unable to fund open-ended litigation, yet I have been compelled to pursue legal relief in order to protect my rights and obtain formal dissolution of the marriage. I do not qualify for Legal Aid or traditional pro bono assistance. I am therefore looking for an attorney who is comfortable working with a cost-conscious, well-prepared client, and who is open to clearly scoped, phased, or alternative fee structures, where appropriate. Brief overview of the matter: Valid customary marriage (lobola paid; marriage in community of property) Spousal abandonment and exclusion from marital home and assets Infidelity and refusal by spouse to initiate or cooperate in divorce proceedings Significant disparity in income and asset ownership Relief sought includes: Interim and/or ongoing spousal maintenance Divorce proceedings (including compelling cooperation where necessary) Protection of proprietary and personal rights, including ancillary relief To reduce costs and enable efficiency, I have already prepared: A detailed factual timeline Draft affidavits and supporting statements A structured outline of the legal issues and relief sought I would appreciate your guidance on the following: Whether your firm is able to assist with a matter of this nature Your fee structure (fixed-fee, phased billing, or limited-scope mandate preferred) Whether maintenance or interim relief applications can assist with funding legal costs What services would be included within your proposed mandate Your availability for an initial consultation (a paid consultation is acceptable if reasonably priced) I am intentionally engaging a limited number of attorneys and will be making a decision based on strategic fit, cost transparency, and practical approach. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

I received a legal letter from my previous employer who is a dealer for Telkom, after 6 months since resigning, alleging breach of a restraint of trade and unlawful competition. I am now an external sales agent working for another dealer for Telkom, and they have requested a formal legal opinion letter from a legal representative after reviewing the documents sent by my previous employer to confirm my position regarding the alleged restraint of trade and my right to continue working. Kindest regards,
There is 5. Of us as siblings of our late father. Our elder brother applied for an rdp house And due to not having kids he made one of the niece as his dependant in this rdp house of his. The rdp house is built on the same property which belongs to all of the siblings. My brother died late . The niece has now gone to the lawyers to claim the property and has somehow managed to get the letter of authority from the Master of the High court. We feel that he used illegal documents to claim the property as the beneficiary with the help of his lawyer and not as the dependant. We have all the documents.
