  • Recently, the Western Cape High Court directed Discovery Limited to deduct more than R29 000 from a client's existing retirement annuity funds. This is after he defaulted on paying child maintenance for his three minor children since late last year. This case has yet again brought to the fore the challenges faced by many South African parents in the process of applying and lodging a maintenance claim. To talk more about this and what the law says in relation to paying child maintenance, we are joined virtually by Seehaam Samaai, Director at the Women's Legal Centre.

    When you do future maintenance do you also include all his other children or is only about the one who went to court?

    If discovery makes that payment, im cancelling all my Discovery subscriptions. It should be fair and both parents should contribute equally, to the future of the children …!

      If you are not living with the children you cannot talk about equal contribution raising kids alone is a full time job . If you are given the responsibility of raising the kids let's see if you will still talk about equal contributions.

    I wish paternity tests be compulsory as most dads maintain kids that are not theirs........

    Absurd. You attach the father's car - how is he going to get to and from work, how is he going to see his kids? You attach his assets - where is he going to live in order to work in order to pay maintenance in future when those funds run out? Utterly unreasonable system, totally biased towards mothers. The law is the bluntest instrument. Gents, get a vasectomy ASAP. Children ruin lives.

    But this is not fair for the fathers.how do you know if your money is used to maintain your child.we all know that baby mothers use this money for their own benefits. How do we go about that.

      Get the school' s bank account number to pay the school fees. Open a store account & buy them clothes & take them to doctors appointments & pay the bill yourself, take them to school & pick them up after. That way you'll see where your money goes 💰

    Will the department pay for a grandfather test? The grandfather says his grandchild is not his.

    @jojojohannes1358 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I just need to ask under this statement why is seems like maintenance it's only falling under male people not female side

    • @jojojohannes1358
      @jojojohannes1358 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Cause seems like all the pressure is put on top of father support it has to come from father side but the kids are for both side father and mother

    Guys when u see a woman coming from a direction of maintenance. Withdraw all your money, stash it somewhere, sell everything u own n stash the money, smile at her while u retire n when u have all ur money stashed then go make lots of debt u cnt pay and put her as surety. Then file for divorce. They play games so should men

      @aais69abc67 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @propherdanger9653 yes I will support my kidz but I don't wanna support a gold digger. Do u think if roles were reversed woman will gladly pay the man maintenance money if kidz is with him? Or would they have a B.... FIT. bad mouth the dad, speak about his incompetence and resent having to pay maintenance. Come now buddy don't be a female. Men can support by taking the child shopping and everything else. Why must the mother be paid? Jerrrrrrrrrr some men can't think when they themselves are female devils
