Recently, the Western Cape High Court directed Discovery Limited to deduct more than R29 000 from a client's existing retirement annuity funds. This is after he defaulted on paying child maintenance for his three minor children since late last year. This case has yet again brought to the fore the challenges faced by many South African parents in the process of applying and lodging a maintenance claim. To talk more about this and what the law says in relation to paying child maintenance, we are joined virtually by Seehaam Samaai, Director at the Women's Legal Centre.
The CoParent App
Working together on child care arrangements post-separation can be tricky if as parents you do not communicate well.
Co-Parent is a proudly South African App aimed to simplify the communication process between parents.
The Co-Parent app has the primary focus to facilitate and improve communication between parents, to ensure the best interests of the child are met.
This is ideal for parents who are divorced, separated, do not live together, or who have busy schedules.
