Q: I have 2 children born out of wedlock in south africa I am the mother
I have supported them since they where born. I got married not to my children father and my husband supports my children the only thing my ex pays is my son school fees. He now wants my son only doesn't care about my daughter. My son is 13 how can I prevent this from happening we never went to family court. Only to maintenance court and nothing came of it because he was unemployed everytime I go. He is not married but living with his girlfriend please help me he is going to abduct my child.
A: If you honestly believe that your ex is likely to abduct your child, you need to go to family court immediately. You can’t simply deny him the right to see his child, but you can’t risk the child’s safety, either. You need a court-approved visitation plan.
