My Wife and I have been separated for 4 years now and she has recently decided to move to another province. Having seen my two daughters every day this has to be the hardest thing that has ever happened to me. How do other fathers/ mothers deal with having children so far away and only seeing them once every two weeks for 2 days? Thank you in advance for advice

(sigh)

You need to read the Children's Act, and familiarise yourself with the contents.

Basically, the law says that the parent with primary care may not move away from the area where the other parent is resident. If they do, they may lose primary care i.e. you will end up with primary care. Of course, if you're quite happy with the arrangement, and with only seeing your children when it suits your ex, then that's a different matter altogether. The bottom line is your ex does not have the right to move away and take the children with her.

Go do some reading on the Act at www.f4j.co.za

You and your children have rights. Stand up for them!
