Hi All A belated thank you for your guidance and assistance. Took a while for Hubby to sign the papers but once that was done the entire operation was flawless – everything went smoothly and my divorce was finalised 23 April 2025. Highly recommend your services. Kindest Regards Gail

Off to a rocky start, I did not think your service was legit (R890 for a divorce?), but ended with a divorce order so I am happy. Happened much quicker than I thought it would. I will surely recommend you to others!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hi If i make of your services and there are no contesting or policies or children or any assets involved and both parties agree to set out documents. How long will the divorce take to go through.

Because you handle the divorce yourself, it will depend on the time you take to follow the step by step guide that will be provided to you. It also depends on where the court dates of your local court is. It shouldn't however take more than 2-3 months to finalise. It can be much sooner though.

I am married out of community of property and my wife is claiming maintenance. We have no children together, no assets or liabilities, and she has always worked, and I have never paid maintenance to her. I live in Mozambique, and do not have a South African bank account, but her attorneys are demanding information regarding my status in Mozambique, including a list of my assets, etc. Please advise what your charge would be to attend to this matter. We were previously with another attorney, but they withdrew from this case with no prior notice, and we believe that there is a court ruling to pay maintenance, which we were not aware of until this month.

Ian, This is not a matter that DIY Law can assist with, you require the assistance of an attorney. Riaan Scheepers from Cawood Attorneys will send you a direct email. Regards,

Good day Please can you provide me with a telephone no as i got some questions i need clarification on. Kind regards

Sharon, I will send a email to you with the relevant information. Regards,

You will have to attend Court. The good news is that you receive a step by step guide to ensure that all is ready for your Court appearance and it is not something that you should be concerned about.

Big big Thank you to the DIYLaw team. I must admit that moment when I pushed the 'pay button' my heart stood still.... praying that I made the right choice and that my money did not just vanish into the unknown. You returned my email within 10 minutes. I was so relieved. After al the sad and bad it was a bit of hope that things will be ok! Every detail and explanation helped me to within one week finalize the paperwork and collect a court date. If you are a potential client and like me pondering the option of using this company you can go for it and push thay 'pay' button! Take the first step! Its worth the effort. Again thank you DIYLaw.

We are about to start the process of divorce and my wife doesn't want me to touch her pension fund. I am the one paying for the house and wish to keep it and leave her pension fund alone and still give her part of my pension fund. We only have one child who is 29yrs and married. Please give best advice.
-- Lamo

Thank you for your comment. It is possible that you retain the immovable property in lieu of not claiming 50% of your wife's pension benefit (assuming that you are married in community of property) as long as both parties agree to it and signs such a settlement agreement. You are welcome to phone us to discuss the matter in more detail. Regards
-- diylaw Administrator

we are married in community what advice do you have for me?
-- Helena Snyman

@Helena, That ia an extremely loaded question which we will gladly answer with more information from you. In essence it will boil down to a 50/50 division of the joint estate, unless the parties agree otherwise. Regards,
