There is no specific age at which a childโ€™s voice becomes the only factor taken into consideration in determining a childโ€™s best interests. In terms of section 6 of the Childrenโ€™s Act 38 of 2005 a childโ€™s voice must be heard as one of the factors in determining a childโ€™s best interest but not the only factor. The childโ€™s voice is also considered within the context of each childโ€™s age, stage of development and level of maturity and therefore case specific. Children may have a view on where they wish to live, but the childโ€™s reasons and motives are also investigated within the broader context of section 7 of the Childrenโ€™s Act. Therefore, a childโ€™s wish and voice are not seen in isolation to the balance of factors taken into account in determining a childโ€™s best interests.

No, the involvement of the Family Advocate is typically discretionary and may depend on the specific circumstances of the case. However, courts may refer cases to the Family Advocate when they believe it is in the best interests of the children involved. However, if a matter involving the care and contact of children settles a Court Order will not be granted until the Office of the Family Advocate has endorsed the settlement agreement as serving the minor childrenโ€™s best interests.

Yes, the Family Advocate may provide assistance and support in cases involving international child abduction, working in collaboration with relevant authorities and international organizations to ensure the safe return of the child. This is possible if the country in question is, like South Africa, a signatory to The Hague Convention of the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 72 of 1996

While you have the right to contest the recommendations of the Family Advocate in court, it's essential to consider the potential consequences and the impact on your case. Courts typically give significant weight to the Family Advocate's recommendations and if you do not agree with it you need to counter it with a second expert opinion obtained from an independent forensic psychologist which will come at a significant cost for your own pocket.

The Family Advocate considers various factors, including the children's age, maturity and stage of development. The childrenโ€™s relationship with each parent, their physical and emotional well-being, their home environment, interviews with collaterals such as the school, teachers and other family members. Allegations of abuse or neglect are also considered. Section 7 of the Childrenโ€™s Act 38 of 2005 sets out the guidelines followed by the Family Advocate in determining a childโ€™s best interests.

While the Family Advocate does not have decision-making authority, their recommendations carry significant weight in court proceedings, as they are based on thorough forensic investigations and assessments of the children's best interests. The staff are also considered experts who are trained and specialises in the field of child care matters by the Court and therefore carries weight from an evidentiary point of view during court proceedings.
