At Rive & Associates, we help families in Cape Town protect the rights and best interests of their children through professional and compassionate legal support.
Understanding Custody and Guardianship in South Africa
Custody and Access: Determining who will care for a child and how they will spend time with each parent.
Guardianship: A legal responsibility allowing a person to make decisions regarding a child’s education, health, and welfare when the biological parents are unable to do so.
These legal arrangements ensure children grow up in safe, stable, and supportive environments while providing clarity and protection under South African law.
