THE PARENTING PLAN AS LEGAL INSTRUMENT
The concept of a parenting plan is arguably one of the most useful legal instruments introduced by the Children’s Act 38 of 2005, purposely designed to lead parents through the emotionally charged quagmire of a messy breakup of a previously trustful relationship. Such a plan becomes pivotal to govern expectations and delineate rights and responsibilities, especially in the critical first 18 months after separation when nerves are exposed, egos are triggered, and communication may well have deteriorated to a point of complete standstill.

HOW TO CALCULATE CHILD MAINTENANCE
In order to claim for maintenance, you must first determine the reasonable needs of the child on a monthly basis.
