Property Rights In Separation

Summary

In KwaZulu-Natal, if you are not legally married, property division depends on contributions and ownership evidence. Document your purchases and ensure the protection order prevents your partner from taking belongings. False allegations, such as claims of child abuse, can lead to arrest without immediate evidence, but you can defend yourself with proof. Reporting false claims to the police is possible, but requires substantial evidence. Legal representation is advisable to navigate these complex issues.
