Two comprehensive South African guides. One clearer way forward.

The South African Divorce & Co-Parenting Guide Bundle brings together both of Open Mind Mediation’s practical digital guides:

• Preparing for Divorce in South Africa — 71 pages

• Co-Parenting with Clarity in South Africa — 55 pages

Together, the guides explain the legal processes, practical decisions and preparation involved when a relationship ends—particularly where children are involved.

The bundle covers:

• the South African divorce process and available legal routes;

• marital regimes, property, debt, maintenance and pension interests;

• documents, court preparation and professional assistance;

• parental responsibilities and rights and the best-interests standard;

• parenting plans, care, contact, holidays, handovers and communication;

• education, healthcare, travel, relocation and new partners;

• child-maintenance calculations, budgets and payment arrangements;

• the Office of the Family Advocate and Maintenance Court processes;

• safety concerns and high-conflict co-parenting; and

• practical worksheets, checklists and preparation pages.

Created for people who want to understand what lies ahead, organise the necessary information and make informed decisions before mediation, legal advice or court.
