When life feels uncertain, you need clarity. When your family situation becomes complex, you need strength. And when your emotions are high, you need compassion, especially from your legal team.
At Chiba Attorneys, we understand that family law isn’t just a legal matter. It’s personal. It’s emotional. And it often comes at a time when everything else already feels overwhelming. Whether you are facing a divorce, struggling to secure maintenance, negotiating custody arrangements, or planning for your child’s future, the decisions you make today will shape your life tomorrow.
We don’t take that lightly.
What You Are Going Through Matters
You may be here because something in your family life has changed. Maybe you’re separating from a partner. Maybe you’re trying to protect your children’s well-being. Or maybe you’ve simply reached a point where you know you need legal clarity — and someone in your corner.
Here’s what we want you to know upfront: you are not alone. And you don’t have to navigate this alone.
We have supported individuals and families across South Africa with situations just like yours, and every time, our goal remains the same: to simplify the process, provide sound advice, and help you make decisions that support your future.
Our Family Law Services Include:
- Divorce – From uncontested agreements to complex, high-conflict divorces, we guide you through your legal rights, responsibilities, and options with sensitivity and focus.
- Child Custody and Access – We prioritise the best interests of your children, helping to establish parenting plans and access arrangements that are both fair and enforceable.
- Maintenance (Spousal & Child) – We assist with maintenance claims, enforcement, and reviews — whether you’re seeking support or facing a claim.
- Domestic Violence and Protection Orders – If you are in danger or need protection, we act swiftly and decisively to ensure your safety.
- Mediation and Settlement Agreements – Wherever possible, we help families resolve disputes outside of court to reduce cost, stress, and emotional damage.
What Sets Us Apart?
- Client-Centred – We listen first. Every case is different, and we take the time to understand what you need — not just legally, but personally.
- Clear Advice – No jargon, no guesswork. Just honest, professional guidance so you can make informed decisions.
- Practical Support – We offer more than legal documentation. We help you prepare, emotionally and logistically, for what lies ahead.
- Discreet & Respectful – Your privacy, dignity and emotional well-being are important to us.
