Hi there
I want to know about appealing maintenance order. The curt has defaulted in payment of future maintenance for more than 3 mnths. I wawant to take the men to the Trust cause court system is causing us grief.
Good day
we advise you approach an attorney ASAP with regard to appealing the maintenance order. There are timelines and processes that must be followed.

If you cannot afford, the court won’t make such an order. Outline your income and expenses fully to the court.

Also I need test to prove all this lies, my child is now 1 year he never DD anything for her he once came to hospital and never heard of him,
Good day
Yes, you can take him to the Maintenance Court. If he disputes paternity, then a blood test should take place to confirm paternity.
I would like to find out if I can take my father to maintenance court, I am 20 year old student. My mom is the only person supporting me but I feel that she already has a lot to deal with since she pays everything and also has other responsibilities yet my dad on the other hand doesn’t even do a single thing for me.
Good day
Yes you can take your father to the maintenance court. He has a legal obligation to maintain you if you cannot yourself. This is so even though you are an adult. You need to approach the maintenance court in your area.
