CHILD CUSTODY
DISPUTES RESOLVED QUICKLY

Our aim as family lawyers in South Africa is to provide legal guardians of children involved in child custody disputes with the legal assistance they need to resolve issues as quickly and satisfactorily as possible. At all times during the process, emphasis will be on the ultimate welfare, health and happiness of the child/children, and our team of custody lawyers will only pursue solutions that recognize that – whether it means that the mother, father or other legal guardian is granted custodial rights.

Child custody in South Africa covers a wide range of legal issues arising from divorce on which we are qualified to advise, including:

  • Contact
  • Access
  • Care
  • Unlawful removal

At our law firm in Johannesburg, our team of dedicated attorneys understands the emotional trauma and stress that a parent or guardian undergoes in the time of divorce and child custody disputes. Together, we will strive to do everything it takes to ensure that any issues are resolved quickly, affordable and – most importantly – within your child’s best interests. Child custody in South Africa involves guardianship issues concerned with fathers custody rights and mothers custody rights and the resultant parenting plan agreement. Divorce attorneys in Johannesburg like our Dahlia Joselowitz and Nicole Andrews, always provide the latest appropriate legal advice.
