Misrepresented by my lawyer (Legal Aid) No communication. Not given a chance for a prop consultation or listen to my side of the story. No advise or guidance from her side. I’m only requested for signing the documents or submit the evidence and documents. No phone calls, no sms or updates. The last document I received from her made me realize that I don’t actually have a Lawyer to represent me. I’ve been in this marriage for 10 years, living in an abusive marriage, my husband he’s a womanizer who sleeps with multiple woman and impregnated another woman out of our marriage. I forgive him and accepted to raise his son as my own, now he wants to divorce me and move on after I sacrificed everything for this marriage. He wants to take everything and give me 40 % of his pension fund. He moved some of the assets from the house, including 3 cars that he never mentioned while his evaluator came for inspection. I told my lawyer about all this information and she said I must provide my own evaluator of which I can’t afford one. I’m unemployed, my husband made me resign twice and told me he will support me. I’m currently unemployed without any spousal support from him. I really need your assistance. He moved out of the house to live with his new girlfriend and left me with nothing, no money no groceries in this December. I will really appreciate your assistance.
I am married under Muslim rights for around 9 years now, not under government law. We have 3 children, all of whom are going to schools I've put them into next year, I'd like to keep them with me at least most of the time. I see to the children's education, that they're in schools and programs that will help them grow. I've also been the breadwinner since we got married and I'm afraid their won't be much stability if they stayed with their mother. I'm also afraid that they might get hurt around her while she's throwing any of her temper tantrums
I have a High Court of Johannesburg matter which I have litigated myself since March because I could not afford representation. I am an Accountant. The Defendant's strategy is one of delay and pedantic adherence to my procedural defects. The matter went to Court on 6 May , but was postponed because the Defendant's Attorney stated that my Expert Reports were not preceded by a Notice of Intention to Amend. I then decided that I need an Attorney to take the matter to its conclusion. I have irrefutable documentary evidence of the Defendant's Misrepresentation, harassment of my Witness and tampering with evidence. I will pay for an Attorney's services once I win. I am even prepared to negotiate the payment of a premium, in the form of a percentage of my award. My claim was originally R7.9 mil, but my Actuary has claimed more. This premium will therefore be a handsome sum of money. A Senior Counsel Advocate has said that "my prospects of success are excellent", after perusing my documents. Please assist a layman, who has suffered a severe injustice at the hands of a self-proclaimed "multi-millionaire", to get the Justice he deserves. Most of the groundwork in this matter is already done.
