My ex and I divorced some 12 years ago. I have custody of both kids (my son will be 24 soon and my daughter has just turned 19). My son is studying (LLB Law) and my daughter having just matriculated is doing her diploma in hairdressing. My ex has refused to continue assisting me financiall (he was giving me R2000 per month) because of their ages. The fact that they're over 18 now surely does not mean that I feed them any less ?? I am carrying the can on my own. Can I approach a court and insist that he continues to help me until they're finished their degree/diploma?
Absolutely, he has to continue with the maintenance until they become self-supporting.
