Hi, I have been told I am getting fired verbally but they are not putting it in writing. There is also a lot going on like I've had no training when they said training would be provided and they yell at me (sometimes literally) about mistakes but never teach me how to correct it. My duties change frequently depending on who is in the office. I have had no verbal warning and no written warning at least none I've signed for or acknowledge for them. I have worked here for 5 months I had a probation of originally 3 months which they extended in December another 3 months which will be the end of February when they have told me I am getting fired. Attached is a copy of my contract. Please could I get some advise and what help would cost.

I am seeking legal advice regarding an online scam I recently experienced. I attempted to purchase a puppy through a website that appeared legitimate. I communicated with the seller, who confirmed the puppy would be shipped to me the following day. When the shipping date arrived, a supposed shipping company contacted me and demanded a very high payment, claiming it was a % refundable fee required for delivery. I paid the full amount as instructed. Since then, I have not received the puppy, no refund has been issued, and all communication has stopped. It has become clear that I was scammed. Please advise on my legal options and whether any action can be taken to recover my funds.
An final court order to end the divorce had been issued without my knowledge. Part of this order was that the Plaintiff would be granted half 50% of my living annuity held and managed by Ninety One. This can not be done according to changed legislation, which excludes living annuities from pension issues in the event of a divorce.
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.
