Family Law & Mediation
At Steinert Moodley Attorneys Inc., we understand that family law matters require sensitivity, clarity, and discretion. Whether you are engaged and require an Antenuptial Contract, or navigating the complexities of divorce, our attorneys provide calm, results-driven guidance designed to protect your interests while preserving dignity and balance. We serve clients within the Johannesburg, Randburg, and Johannesburg High Court jurisdictions — offering trusted representation through life’s defining transitions.
Antenuptial Contracts
Every engaged couple should carefully consider an Antenuptial Contract (ANC), as it determines the legal and financial structure of their marriage. While it may not be the most romantic aspect of wedding planning, it is one of the most important.
Our attorneys take the time to explain the various marital regimes in clear and practical terms, helping couples make informed decisions that align with their personal and financial circumstances. We assist with the drafting and registration of tailor-made contracts that provide long-term protection and peace of mind.
Marital regimes in South Africa include:
Marriage in community of property
Marriage out of community of property with accrual
Marriage out of community of property without accrual
The importance of an Antenuptial Contract cannot be overstated. We invite you to book a consultation with Steinert Moodley Attorneys Inc. to ensure your agreement is correctly structured, comprehensive, and suited to your unique relationship and goals.
Divorce & Family Transitions
Divorce can be one of life’s most difficult transitions — emotionally, financially, and legally. At Steinert Moodley Attorneys Inc., we guide clients through each stage of the process with empathy and professionalism, ensuring your rights are protected while seeking resolution with minimal conflict.
Grounds for divorce in South Africa include:
Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage or civil union
Mental illness of a spouse
Continuous unconsciousness of a spouse for at least six months
Divorces may be uncontested (unopposed), where both parties agree on key terms, or contested (opposed), where disputes require court intervention. Our firm handles both scenarios with discretion and precision, safeguarding your best interests and helping you achieve a dignified outcome.
