			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People have become less interested in getting married in today&#8217;s society as more and more choose to live together without tying the knot. Plenty of people decide to live together without getting married or having a legal agreement. When you don&#8217;t have any type of security net placed, family solicitors say that there are some dangers that you could be facing. </p>
<p>In today&#8217;s society, marriage has become something to be feared of as people are no longer interested in spending their lives like this. However, the family solicitors say that most of their clients are not aware of the serious consequences that such a decision can have. When a married couple decides to get a divorce both of the spouses have the right to ask for financial compensation. For example, if the house you have lived in is in your spouse&#8217;s name then even after divorce you have the right to live there. This is also true when you have stayed at home to help raise your kids. The right for financial compensation applies here, in addition to child support.  </p>
<p>When you have the help of family solicitors you will know exactly what needs to be done and how you can apply in court. The non financial contributions of the spouse will equal the financial contributions so, one also has the right to ask for compensation for the lack of pension. </p>
<p>However, when we are talking about unmarried partners then the situation is clearly not the same. The family solicitors clearly explain that such unmarried couples have not rights over each other&#8217;s property. This includes the house and the assets that are not in both their names. Also, in such cases, asking for financial compensation is also impossible. The person that is in this situation has to prove the fact that he/she has beneficial interest in the house. In case this cannot be proved then you cannot have any type of financial interest in the property. Unmarried couples that have no types of agreements cannot claim any sort of compensation. </p>
<p>Therefore, if you are married or not married you will need the help of family solicitors for help and legal support.  They know the details of the law and they will know how to prepare you in case such a thing becomes necessary.  So, if you have a problem, big or small ask for their advice and surely you will be better off.</p>
<p>The association for <a href="http://www.osbornes.net/services/family-law.aspx">family solicitors</a> is committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes, including divorce while working within Resolution&#8217;s code of conduct.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Family law is simply the law that governs domestic or family-related issues in South Africa and includes </p>
<p>Each and every one of us will, at some stage in our lives, be affected by family law, whether it is the legal ramifications of forming a union with our chosen partner, the dissolution of that union, how the children of the union are affected or simply inheritance issues following the death of a family member. </p>
<p>As most issues relating to family can become contentious at times, it is crucial that there are laws governing all aspects of family relationships. Most of us will become far too angry or upset to deal with a breakdown in a family relationship, and this is where family lawyers are invaluable. They deal with the client’s needs even-handedly, following the letter of the law every step of the way. </p>
<p>Marriage </p>
<p>Marriage is basically a formal contract between a man and a woman that effectively sets out the rights and duties of each. In South Africa, we have laws governing civil marriage, Christian marriage, marriage by Muslim or Hindu rites, African customary marriage and even same-sex unions. </p>
<p>There are also several other unions that enjoy similar legal status to marriage, including cohabitation, common-law marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships, all of which have dedicated laws dealing with the finer intricacies of each. </p>
<p>Divorce </p>
<p>Sadly, a growing number of unions end in acrimony, but fortunately there are also formal decrees that govern the dissolution of any partnership. Divorce is a legal dissolution of a marriage and in South Africa there are only two grounds for divorce: </p>
<p>The latter speaks for itself, but with irretrievable breakdown, one or both partners have to prove in a court of law that the marriage is beyond salvaging. Evidence may include </p>
<p>Our children </p>
<p>In all instances, it is crucial that both partners engage family law attorneys so that they can be apprised of their rights. Sadly, it is often the children of the marriage or union that are most affected by the breakdown and family law will give clear direction with respect to custody and child support. </p>
<p>Family law is also critical in all aspects pertaining to children, such as whether they are born within the confines of marriage or not. Issues such as paternity, legitimacy, adoption, foster care and legal guardianship are also dealt with within the realm of family law. </p>
