Assistance with resolving maintenance issues
Good day,
I need assistance with getting my ex husband to pay what is needed for my two sons. I am currently unemployed and I have asked him to help and will only give what he thinks is necessary for my boys. In the past he has either paid short or not paid at all.
I will be employed from the 4th of January 2018.
He earns way more and I do not think it is fair that we contribute half each.
I would like a maintenance agreement drawn up. I no longer want to beg my ex for help. He needs to do what is right for my boys.
Please assist.
Regards,
Charlene

Dear Charlene S, Help in this regard is plentifull and easy. It is in fact as far as the nearest magistrate’s court where you and the boys live. The maintenance officer will take your complaint and subpoena the father for a detefmination of the maintenance contribution based on your and your childrens current income and expenditure. I submit you go there immediately to register the matter.
