Free DIY Online Tools to get Divorced, apply for Child Maintenance, and other Free Legal Resources
Knowing the law is one thing, but knowing how to enforce and apply it is another story. We all know parents should pay child support; the law says so. But what do you do if a parent refuses to pay?
We advise that you use the services of a legal practitioner to assist you in your divorce matter or application for contact with your child. However, legal services cost money, which is not always available. Should you decide to make use of the resources provided on this website, we strongly advise that you obtain legal advice before proceeding.
Do your own divorce
If a marriage has broken down, and there are no reasonable prospects of restoring the normal marital relationship, a divorce may be the best solution. Having said that, there are certain proprietary and parental issues that need to be tabled. For example, what happens to the kitchen table, who sees the children, where, and when? If you were married out of a community of property, with no children, and without the accrual regime, the issues are simple.
Having said the above, it is possible to attend to your own divorce without the assistance of a lawyer.
