Divorce Attorneys in Randburg, Johannesburg: Unopposed Divorces

Tracy Sischy Attorneys is a boutique law firm with extensive experience in divorce and family law. Established in 2003, we have built a strong reputation as trusted divorce attorneys in Randburg, guiding our clients through the divorce process.

Unopposed divorce

An unopposed or uncontested divorce refers to where both parties in a marriage have agreed on how the assets and liabilities will be split, where the children will stay, the contact to the children , what maintenance will be paid and spousal maintenance if any. If all of these points have been agreed upon then there should be nothing to litigate and the divorce can proceed on an unopposed basis.

Steps

The steps to be followed in an unopposed divorce would be as follows;

  1. Consultation with an attorney in respect of the matter
  2. Drafting of the deed of settlement or settlement agreement
  3. Drafting of the summons
  4. Issuing from Court
  5. Appointing a sheriff and lodging a copy with the family advocate if required.
  6. Awaiting for the summons to be served and thereafter waiting the time periods to lapse before you can proceed.
  7. Obtaining the report from the Family Advocate if applicable
  8. Drafting the applicable affidavits and documents in terms of the directives and or indexing and paginating.
  9. Applying for a court date
  10. Attendance at the hearing

Documents and Information Needed

To prepare for your divorce consultation, kindly bring:

  • Your marriage certificate.
  • A copy of your antenuptial agreement (if applicable).
  • If maintenance is required for you or your children, we request:
  • A schedule of your current and anticipated monthly expenses.
  • Specific details of children’s expenses (education, extra-murals, medical aid, healthcare costs, special needs, etc.).

This information helps our divorce attorneys in Randburg to create a fair and enforceable settlement.
