A Pretoria businessman has been accused of living a high life with fancy cars and a swanky house while conveniently forgetting to pay his ex-wife’s spousal maintenance, his two kids’ school fees, and some other bills.
The accused was notified that the court had already found him guilty as charged, and he was summoned to appear for a mitigation of sentence.
A recent case saw the Supreme Court of Appeal hand down a ruling with important consequences for divorced couples with maintenance agreements in place.
