Here we are-
At the end of a tough 2019...
I am glad to see that I am not the only one who has experienced this year as a particularly long one.
I am now at the end of Year 3 for my practice. I am happy to say that I have had my second audit to be approved by this Legal Practice Council of ours.
One of the highlights of this year is that I have managed to get a court order authorising a mother to leave the country with her minor children without needing the father's consent. Now- before anyone starts raising issues such as child abduction and so forth- let me first tell you that this is one of two cases where the children reside with the mother and the father resides far away.
In one of these cases the father does not even bother to keep contact with the children and this hurdle of having to obtain his consent even for just a vacation in Mozambique is unreasonable when one considers this.
2020 is going to be my fourth year in this practice. I am really looking forward to it. It is just around the corner. By that I mean- really- it is only 23 days away...
So- before it shows up- let me thank my old clients, and the new ones that have just shown up, for their support throughout this year.
I wish all of you a blessed Festive Season. Those of you who have to work through this December- I am with you. I have decided to work all the way into the new year. :)
Those of you travelling on the roads this holiday- stay out of trouble.
If you can't- and that attorney that you have in your pocket is on vacation and out of reach- I hope that you have put R 8 000.00 aside for the occasion.
To all of you, however, I hope you take some time this Christmas to appreciate the people closest to you. I also hope that you have a prosperous and joyful 2020.
