Radio Pulpit Heart to Heart

The financial legal implications of raising a non-biological child in South Africa.

Loading player...
You took her in like your own. You've raised him for years. You've fed, clothed, schooled and loved a child who isn't biologically yours. But did you know — under South African law, that act of love could land you in court with a maintenance order against your name, even after a separation?
Blessings Ndabula joins Lukho Mkwedi Phuthi to unpack the financial and legal realities of raising a non-biological child in SA — and the practical steps EVERY caregiver, step-parent and foster parent needs to take to protect themselves AND the child.
Wills. Trusts. Parenting plans. Co-guardianship. This conversation could literally save you.
