I am a Family Court Magistrate in South Africa where I preside over a Children’s and Maintenance (child support) Court. The statutes that govern the Children’s court encourages an approach that is non-adversarial and conciliatory. ‘For the children’s sake’ gives parents easy access to skilled mediation services to resolve their dispute in an amicable and informal way.
