Webinar – POWERS OF COURT TO CONVICT A PARENT REGARDING CONTACT WITH A CHILD.

Presented by: Adv Chris Maree, Adv Shawn Meyer, Marici M Corneli Jacobsz and Adv Anneme Korf

There may be situations where one parent might feel the need to restrict contact with the other parent and the children. What however happens when there is a standing court order or a Parenting Plan which has been made an order of court?

How would the actions of one parent withholding contact be viewed by a court of law and what are the possible repercussions for such a parent when procedures are not followed.

What are the correct steps that an attorney should follow to address this issue? What are the powers of a parent coordinator in such a scenario?

Although a parent may at times feel that he/she is acting in the best interest of the minor child/ren there are serious consequences to a parent who withholds or frustrates the contact of another parent.

Let’s discuss the term contempt of court and also the application of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005.

We invite you to join us in our webinar to discuss some case law and important aspects and circumstances of three recent cases.
