I am in the process of divorce, I work at a Private School where my children get to attend at 25% of the normal rate to cover variable costs. My ex is now saying she can't stay here any more, White River / Nelspruit, and is dictating that she is moving them to Jhb and into a government school at double the price. Forgetting the lifestyle etc for a minute, the fact that I to have a home that can provide more than adequately for them, I work at their school and can fetch and carry with ease - can she just do this and how do you stop it. I would like the children assessed first to make sure they're comfortable, how do I do this before she's allowed to move and will the courts just waive an incredible lifestyle and private education because "children should be with mom"? It's absurd what my children will lose because mom wants to go.
Depending on how old the children are and what their expressed wishes are, you may well succeed in keeping them there. Urgent legal steps would be needed to "force" the mother not to relocate before a full forensic custody evaluation is done.
