Separation
Legal separation does not exist in South Africa, even if you are no longer living together and are not divorced.
Separation means the end of an intimate marriage relationship.
This means if you want to get separated you need to get divorced.
Under South African law, either you are married, unmarried or divorced.
During separation the following issues can be addressed:
- Division of assets and debts
- Custody of children and visitation schedules
- Child support
- Spousal support
A key aspect of being separated as opposed to being divorced is that when you are separated, you are still legally married in the eyes of the law.
That means that you cannot remarry. It also means that even if you stay with someone else your “ex spouse” is still your spouse and will be treated as such should you pass away.
We will assist you with all crucial aspects of separation
- your rights when you get divorced
- maintenance issues
- all factors regarding the children
- the law on cohabitation
