Looks like I will be spending my break alone at home. Have a dog to look after and my GF is in quarantine a week already due to her daughter returning hurriedly from the UK and was exposed to an infected person. Going to be very lonely me thinks. Hope I can get fit running around my yard [emoji2957]

I feel like giving myself a pat on the back. This week I negotiated a settlement with the ex that we both feel is fair, and without the involvement of lawyers (which are properly expensive here in Oz). It was a long, tedious process, and did involved a few months of only communicating via our lawyers, but sanity prevailed and we managed to discuss it amicably. Very happy we kept it out of court.

Now you have more money to share

Exactly. Divorce court here runs at about $20k (R200k) per day, per applicant. So it can eat into your estate value very quickly.

Kransie, jy het groot brons knaters, of julle braai nog saam?

[Kranswurm]

Why would you ride with your ex? What did the current say?

Why not?

[Kranswurm]

Most women that I have dated would not have been too happy. #respecttoyourcurrentlady

You don't throw away a lifetime

same boat... could have stayed with kids on my dad's farm, but my daughter (6) will take strain if she doesn't see her mom for a month (or more).

[Amberdrake]

Honestly my daughter is taking strain. She is 2 and she is confused, Daddy and Grandpa is home and taking her shopping and mommy leaves. She watches TV and doesn't get to go to daycare and everyone is stressed around her. Really hope this changes as it all normalizes. (Not that this situation is normal)

Hi All.

Does anyone know the legalities of what I would need to do regarding maintenance if I were retrenched or my salary drastically cut which has already happened this month despite using the little leave I had accumulated in the relatively short time at my current employment.

 

Does one approach the court directly or do you negotiate a way with your Ex rather with or without a lawyer involved.

Appreciate and ideas.

first direct, then through mediator / lawyer if she's not coming to the party. Always preferable to do it without involving the legal system if you don't have to.
