Property Regimes & Divorce Law in South Africa – Know Your Rights

Divorce can have serious financial consequences, especially when it comes to property regimes. Whether you are married in community of property, out of community with accrual, or out of community without accrual, South African courts are increasingly focused on fairness and financial justice when dividing assets at divorce. Recent legal developments confirm that courts may look beyond strict contracts where one spouse would be left financially vulnerable.
