Sensitive and professional divorce representation, including contested and uncontested divorces, mediation and settlement agreements.
An uncontested divorce — where both parties agree on the settlement, division of assets and any care arrangements for children — can be finalised relatively quickly through the High Court or Regional Court, usually within a matter of months once the settlement agreement is signed and the paperwork is filed.
A contested divorce is a different process entirely, involving disputes over asset division, spousal maintenance, or care and contact arrangements, and can take considerably longer as those issues are resolved through negotiation, mediation, or ultimately trial. We represent clients through both — pursuing settlement wherever it serves the client, and litigating firmly where it doesn’t.
We handle divorces — in and out of community of property, with or without an antenuptial contract — for clients across Midrand, Halfway House, Kyalami, Waterfall, Sunninghill and greater Gauteng, always with sensitivity to how difficult this process is regardless of the legal outcome.
Once both parties have signed a settlement agreement, an uncontested divorce can typically be finalised in 6–12 weeks, depending on the court’s roll. A contested divorce can take a year or considerably longer.
No — you can start the process and negotiate the settlement as you go, including through mediation. We advise on the fastest realistic path for your specific situation.
