Income during the case question.
Dear attorney, Ive taken up a labour matter after being retrenched. However the document I’ve signed is void due to me being mentally ill. The lawyer says that the case can take months or even years. My question is where do I get an income from in this period? We are battling at home. I was the breadwinner. The laws to void the termination are already in place and this needs to be done asap. Please advise.

Please ask the lawyer to see if he can negotiate a settlement. You are right that litigation can become a long process which will not be in your interest.
