We offer the best family law services and our mission is to give our clients our personal and undivided attention in the following aspects concerning family law:
Contracts and Agreements are one of the most important factors in our lives. Without them, we can end up with nothing to show for a long-married or partnership life. South Africa gives us the choice of marrying in or out of community of property or out of community of property with accrual. When you choose to get married without an antenuptial contract, the reality is that you are married in community of property. There are risks involved when marrying without an antenuptial contract for all parties.
Divorce, whether contested or uncontested, is always a very traumatic and complex experience for the family who is involved in this situation. It is especially traumatic when there are children who will also be affected by the parent’s divorce. Our prime focus in a situation like this is that the best interests of the children will be maintained at all costs.
Our clients can be assured that Scholtz Attorneys will ensure that their minor children’s best interests will be paramount and that the best solutions will be found to protect them. We will ensure that protection orders, whether opposed or obtained, will be expertly handled to the best interest of our clients.
