A Gauteng woman has succeeded in ensuring that her soon-to-be ex-husband does not get 50 of their joint estate. This is because, although they were married in community of property, he abused her physically and financially throughout their marriage.
Judge Noluntu Bam ruled at the Pretoria high court that the evidence presented and accepted by the court painted a clear picture that the husband had not contributed to the well-being of his family or the upkeep of his home.
He had also left his job and got a pension, but it is not known what he did with it.
