What Are Your Child Custody Rights?

In South African law, child custody in a divorce is settled according to the Children’s Act (amended by the Child Justice Act of 2008). Our legal representatives intimately know the ins and outs of the court system in South Africa, making it recommended that you seek legal representation when navigating child custody rights.

The primary caregiver of a child will depend on which parent has the primary residence. As a parent you have the right to exercise contact with your child, whereby they can maintain a relationship and stay with you at allotted times. The parent with custody or care always depends on the best interests and welfare of the child first before anything else.
