We will advise you on all the different marriage regimes available in South Africa and advise you on the most suitable marriage regime to suit your individual needs. We are equipped to draft your antenuptial agreement for you, and ensure that all formalities have been met before your big day.

We emphasize the importance of maintaining dignity between the parties and resolving legal dispute on a fair and equitable basis.  Our dealings with clients are focused on attempting to avoid a settlement that will lead to resentment and subsequent litigation. As a result, this department views high court litigation as a last resort to finalize the terms of a divorce.

It is therefore paramount that both parties feel a fair settlement has been achieved and that the relationship between the parties, especially if there are children involved, will continue on a civil basis long after the divorce is finalized.
