Family Law Attorneys
Family law issues can be incredibly complex and can have a significant impact on all family members, especially children. These complexities arise from the intricate legal, emotional, and psychological aspects involved in various family-related matters.
Many factors come into play in the different aspects of family law. Things like divorce, separation, division of assets and debts, child support, custody and visitation rights all form part of family law.
The above can cause emotional distress, and affect the lives of the whole family, but especially children, and it is important to handle it with care and expertise. That is why family law cases often require the involvement of a family lawyer.

Family Law Legal Services Offered by Benita Ardenbaum Attorneys
Not only can our team of Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town family lawyers assist in the traumatic circumstances of a divorce or separation, but our best family law attorneys can also offer services in the following areas:
Antenuptial Contracts
An Antenuptial contract (“ANC”) is essential as it is not only useful during a divorce but also protects you and your assets if you or your spouse die. Let us draft an agreement that will suit your needs.
Variations of the Matrimonial Regime
We can assist with making variations to your matrimonial regime through a High Court Application.
Universal Partnerships
There is no common-law marriage in South African law and therefore a Universal partnership is required for couples who want to have certain legal rights, without getting married. We can draft the Partnership Agreement.
Cohabitation Agreements
Life partners, who cohabit, are permitted to enter into a contract similar to an antenuptial contract that regulates their respective obligations during the subsistence of their union. The contents and nature of a cohabitation agreement will depend on the needs of the parties, and we are here to assist.
Same-Sex Marriages and Civil Unions
The Civil Union Act (Act 17 of 2006) provides for opposite-sex and same-sex civil marriages, religious marriages and civil partnerships. We can assist with drawing up the necessary agreements and give advice.
general family Law
Family Law is not only about finding a legal strategy, it is about the emotions that drive the parties, which often perpetuates the conflict during the divorce and family law matter proceedings.
As one of the best family law attorneys in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban, we provide our clients with practical, creative, dynamic, and innovative solutions to family law matters. Our approach helps clients navigate the divorce and family law process with minimal stress and anxiety, offering them the necessary emotional tools to overcome self-imposed limitations and transform obstacles into opportunities.
