Can we sue for malicious abuse of system?
My mom keeps suing me and my sister for maintenance can we sue her for malicious abuse of system? The first time was not successful. She receives sassa due to a lung desease and lives in a place she can afford but wants to live in a 5 star place we cannot afford.

Am sure she sacrificed a good part of her life for you. So please be patient with her and help her as much as you can. You can’t sue her for malicious abuse of the system. If her suit was in a civil court you can only ask to be paid your cost of defending the suit. If it was simply an application at the maintenance office you will have no recourse. Irrespective, just think of the day your children treat you in the same manner, whether you are right or wrong.
