I would like to change my child's surname to my new married surname, I've had no contact with the father for 12 years as he relocated and didn't give his new address and number. I need help to prove abandonment/ desertion for the court order to declare him an absent father so that I am able to change her surname and also apply for her ID and passport. Thank you.
I was unjustly evicted from a property I'm renting by the landlord, immediate eviction though Im currently out of south Africa. They asked my family including a 2 years toddler and staff to vacate within 30 minutes, threatened them with police and some people the owner called bylaw officers, break doors and search rooms and personal stuff with no authorization or warrant. My people were ask to take only their clothes. Some left with no clothes because of the pressure and threats from the owner and people who where accompaning her. They had no eviction notice from the court. Someone from the rental agency brought an immediate eviction letter yesterday evening around 5pm asking my family and staff to vacate the property today 18th November. At 9am today 18th November the owner was there and gave my family 30 mins to leave. They didn't allow them to take even foodstuffs. My family is out of the house now with no alternative accommodation. They left everything behind, furniture's, beds, fridges with food, beds electronics, everything. My home office was searched, door to prayer room broken. Yes I owe them, I had to pay my rents on the 1st of November which I haven't. Will explain more when I come for consultation.
I need a lawyer that can present me on the mediation case from housing Tribunal. I logged a complaint against my ex landlord and they counter complained.
We got married in and got seperated in . We are both not in South Africa. I live full time in Ireland and he lives full time in Canada. We have a son 8 years old and custody is currently not an issue. The child lives with me(mom) full time. We separated because of infidelity on my husband’s part so I would like to legally end the marriage.
I have supported my child from when she was born until at the age of 6 years. All expenditure was from me alone from food, clothing, crèche and pre school (Grade R). I was staying with the child the two of us, until her mother spoiled my relationship with my child. The mother of the child restrained the child from going to school during the child's final exams at school. I decided to go to Pretoria High Court, unfortunately the Judge Retief temporary ruled against me, for the child to stay at her friends place where the mother doesn't sleep in when she is from work. The child was going to school alone on Uba/Bold about 40km away from the school in the morning and afternoon. I hired the private investigator to investigate because I knew that the mother of my child she will never bring the child to school and take her back. The mother depended on the friend and the friend requested an Uba/Bold for the child. The child is the girl, South Africa in human trafficking is excelling. Righ Now, I am willing to go to Pretoria High Court to finish up the case. The mother of the child claimed that I beat the child with the belt. Unfortunately, it was used against me. Teachers tried to wrote me letters for the motivations stated, the child when she lives with the father she alright but when she is with the mother, the child she even comes to school without books and school uniform and even a lunch. But the magistrate Retief J ruled against me, and ordered that the child must stay at friend place, provided the mother comes to sleep with the child everything. None of those never happened, and the mother of the child condemned the court order by refusing me with access to see the child. Please assist me, where you are capable of winning this case.

There are secondary issues raised by Lesley off which you have replied pertaining to your absences I am not intending to entertain at this stage. The leave was granted on the premise that your wife is not well. We request you to provide proof that your wife was not well for us to make an informed decision. This is a reasonable request any employer can demand from the employee The above request is not an encroachment on your private life or space alleged below. The document to be submitted might be for example a doctor note for consultation Hope I am now clear and will await the proof. Regards,
We want a reversal of the property rates imposed on our property. We have had approved plans since March which is when we started building, and we have have penalties imposed on us since we demolished our cottage in . Due to these penalties we stopped building (currently the building is probably at 40% done). COJ has informed us that we will incur these until we are done building. This makes no sense, we currently don’t have the funds to finish the building nor do we have the fund to keep paying these penalties that don’t make sense. We need assistance.
My stepmother left i and my brother with nothing and she only took our stepsister with her because she's her biological child so what's the different between us and her child and they getting our fathers salary but not giving us anything is that possible? What if our stepmother die so it means her biological child will only get our fathers salary alone?
