yip the last court case with my ex over maintenance...i handed over R10 000 to her and she paid it straight over to her attorney for fees and services and that was for an out of court settlement...i do believe her attorney...advised her she was wasting her time and he would end up suing her for his fees if it dragged out for much longer...because you can only squeeze so much water out of a rock...so who benefits...not the kids.

and i agree with the set figue...like tax...it should be a figue determined by your salary...on both sides.
