Sam Wilson tweeted a Harvard Business article yesterday that explained the lack of female leaders in business. Factors that include that women are uncomfortable with the idea of power and prefer to be liked, play a role. I couldn’t agree more: who am I to be telling people what to do? This caught my eye because [...] -

@Lauren: Acts generally don’t apply retrospectively because it’s deemed unfair but in this case, it does apply to children born before the act came into power.
@casa: indeed you could face legal action and it is indeed possible to drag this matter out for years.

Wa Africa’s arrest today has shocked many and justifiably so: where do the police get off arresting him at a conference for journalists where journalistic freedom was the topic of concern and making a show of arresting him? Did he do something fraudulent? That is irrelevant – if a husband is in default of maintenance payments [...] -

The first thing is that her attorney, assuming he drafted your ante-nuptial should not represent her as there is a conflict of interests – he can be reported to the law society for this. Secondly, unless you have her company audited there isn’t much you can do, especially pending divorce as a Rule 43 would [...]

For the record, I haven’t followed the trial closely and I’m not sure that Agliotti is a S204 witness, the object of this post was merely to clear up the point of witness indemnity.

Get a children’s psychologist to evaluate him, your lawyer should be able to refer you to one. Also get her friend to testify and her parents as to the frequency of his visits to them (subpoena them, it’s not optional) and take it to trial. Family advocates are mostly pro-mother for whatever reason, although giving [...]

It became clear recently that some people I spoke to think that Glenn Agliotti took the State’s indemnity deal, professed to turn coat but really did not hold his side of the bargain and will now be walking. Apparently he is now indemnified and can no longer be charged. He wishes! Section 204 of the Criminal [...] -

There’s no one size fits all but this is the problem: you don’t really spend ‘quality time’ with kids during the course of the week, it’s all the daily grind so that the mother is entitled to weekends to remedy this. The answer to is to agree on one weekday afternoon, pick-up after school and [...]

Well the first way you will alienate your son is to not be truthful to your son. Tell him exactly what is going on and although I don’t advise that you bad mouth your wife, prepare your son for the fact that she may do that to you. If she says something heinous about you. [...]

Though you can never really know man, we have no knowledge of any untoward actions by the late honourable judge and would be sincerely disappointed to hear anything of the sort about a man so well regarded.

The UK Telegraph reported that certain retailers in Britain might run into trouble for using the trademarked name ‘ vuvuzela‘. The name for the monstrously irritating national symbol was trademarked by a company named Masincedane Sport as a community trademark and using it without consent would result in penalties – isn’t it good to know that there are [...] -

@F: More often than not, both parents love their children dearly and there would be no reason why either beer and ought not to have the custody of the children awarded to him/her. This is probably true in your case. The mere fact that you work from home and your wife does not or vice [...]

@Jonny: you can either go to your local domestic violence office and and seek an interdict (free of charge) – in Johannesburg it’s situated at the central divorce court in town. Or, if you don’t have one in the area, you can approach a lawyer to seek one in terms of the domestic violence act. [...]
