Johannesburg High Court Denies Husbands Maintenance Bid in Divorce Case
In a recent divorce case, a Johannesburg High Court rejected a husbands request for maintenance from his wife. The couple married in April 2022, had no children together, and were in a community of property. The husband, 30, had a child with another woman in June 2025, leading to the wifes divorce filing in September 2025 due to the affair. The husband, unemployed and living in the marital home, sought R2,500 monthly for his childs food and nappies, plus R2,000 for transport. However, the court found that his shelter and food needs were covered by the joint estate, and he had no legal duty to support his outside child without taking on that role himself. The wife, who owns a property with rental income, switched tenants payments to her personal account, cutting off his access. The court dismissed his urgent application, leaving the divorce to proceed as both parties navigate the income tangle.
