My wife and I are the grandparents of our autistic granddaughter Skye Oelofse. She has been living with us permanently since she was 8 months old. She is now 13 years old. Her biological mother Marilene Oelofse (our daughter) and biological father Ruben Oelofse are seperated. Her biological mother currently permanently lives with another man, Deon Gerber, and has two children with him. Her biological father now permanenly lives with another woman. Her biological parents never contributed in any way to the upbringing of Skye. She has seen them five times in the past 12 years and that was when we took Skye to see them. They have never even phoned her on her birthday. We have recent "relinguishment of parental rights affidavits" signed by both of her biological parents. They are not interested in Skye at all. I am a 66 year old retired school principal and my wife is 56 years of age. We are both in good health. We would like to apply for (uncontested) full custody of our autistic granddaughter Skye Oelofse. We are the only parents she ever knew. It will make life easier for us and for Skye. We, for example, from time to time want to visit our daughter Zonel and grandchildren in New Zealand and obtaining permission for Skye to leave RSA to accompany us for that purpose is an uphill battle because her biological parents are "unavailable". We have the affidavits from her biological parents that proves they are not interested in her. We would like to apply for full custody of Skye Oelofse. Her biological parents have indicated that they will not contest or oppose our application for full custody of Skye Oelofse

My wife and I got an agreement to divorce since we were having financial financial situation. The plan was to divorce and settle the debts we had. After she received the money she bought a car afand register under her name of which I didn't have a problem with that since I trusted her with everything. Now she changed saying it's her car and the money was her fair share she deserves it.we got married in July 27 in she left to free state which is our home town. She's stays until December. we spend the whole year together after we finish with our divorce process we stayed together until September back to free state again. Now my argument here is I feel divorce process was not fair to me because there's a breach of agreement between us. I'd like us divorce process to be revisited again
I am going through a divorce with my spouse an it’s in community. I have an 8 year old daughter who I alone was financially responsible from a previous relationship. No formal adoption or financial care from my spouse was done. We have a house in custody and we paid about the installment amount for about 3 years. He lived in the house alone for 15 months before I moved, but was contributing to the bond at that time.
In year 18 of maintenance. School fees were very specifically in court order specified as a separate sum which the mother has not paid to the school and she has to repay me if she does not. She refused to pay me. I have deducted it and pay directly to the school. She has now sued me via lawyers and has also thrown in defamation, crimen injuria & intentional emotional & economic harm.
Would like advice regarding help with additional school fees (R) for my son going to matrix next year. I have asked the father for help but ignoring me. I have an excysting maintenance arrangement from the maintenance court for maintenance but need help with the amount indicated. My son 18 years old
