IN THE HIGH COURT OF SOUTH AFRICA

(TRANSVAAL PROVINCIAL DIVISION)


CASE NR 50/2000
In the matter between
BETTY BUTCHER APPLICANT
and
BILLY BUTCHER RESPONDENT

___________________________________________________________________________



AFFIDAVIT


___________________________________________________________________________

I, the undersigned




BETTY BUTCHER

Hereby make oath and declare as follows:


1.

I am the applicant in this matter, an adult female nurse resident at 30 Lockshoe Street, Wapadrand, Pretoria

2.

The respondent is Billy Butcher, an adult male medical doctor, resident at 20 Watent Crescent, Wapadrand, Pretoria.


3.

The respondent and I are domiciled within the jurisdiction area of this Honourable Court.

4.

The respondent and I were married to each other in community of property in Pretoria on 10 May 1995, which marriage still subsists.



5.

From the above marriage, two minor children were born:




    1. Cate, a girl, born on 10 May 1996

    2. Duplicate, a boy, born on 10 May 1996

6.

On 5 January 2000 I issued a divorce summons against respondent in the above Honourable Court, under case number 40/2000. Respondent has since given notice of intention to defend and I am currently awaiting his plea. At the hearing of this application the pleadings in the divorce matter will be made available to this Honourable Court.


7.

The deterioration of the marriage relationship between myself and respondent has reached such a degree that there are no prospects of restoration of a normal marriage relationship. The reasons therefore are evident from the particulars of claim to the divorce summons as referred to above. I therefore submit that my marriage relationship with the respondent has broken down irretrievably in terms of section 4(1) of the Divorce Act nr 70 of 1979 and it is my intention to proceed with the divorce action.


8.

The respondent is a man of means and we maintained an above average living standard. In order to enable the court to determine the respondent’s financial position, I refer this Honourable Court to the following:



  1. The respondent is a medical doctor who inherited his father, the famous dr Imno Butcher’s Alternative Healing practice in Eridanus Ave, Waterkloof Heights, Pretoria. The said practice has a turnover o f R2 million per year. Respondent draws a salary of R40 000 per month.

(b) The respondent is the owner of a fully paid-up Mercedes Benz E 280 which has a market value of R200 000.

(c) The respondent is the owner of an unbonded property situate at 20 Watent Cresent, Wapadrand, which property is valued at R750 000.

(d) All our domestic expenses, which included frequent dining out and relaxation at luxurious guest houses and spas, were paid for by respondent. The running cost of the aforesaid amounted to approximately R20 000 per month.
9.


  1. When I realised that our marriage was unsuccessful I started working again in order to have a source of income in the event of divorce, which seemed to be inevitable. I currently earn a monthly netto salary of R4 500-00.

(b) I left the common house in Watent Crescent, Wapadrand shortly after having issued the divorce summons as aforesaid. I am currently renting a three bedroomed townhouse in Lockshoe Street, Wapadrand which I rent at a monthly rental of R3 000. The townhouse belongs to a friend of mine who is letting it to me at a very reasonable rate due to our friendship relationship. My two children are living with me and are at day care while I work.

(c) I am the owner of a 1997 Toyota Tazz with market value of R40 000.



  1. I have a savings account at Absa Bank with a balance of R15 000.

(e) As indicated above my children live with me and I have to make provision for their maintenance and care which include food, clothing and day care.

(f) My monthly expenditure amount to the following:


Rent 3 000

Petrol 500

Day care for children 800

Clothing (myself) 400

Clothing (children) 400

Medical expenses 400

Groceries 3 000

Telephone 400

Insurance 500

Motor and electricity 500

Recreation and sundry expenses 500

10 400
From the aforesaid it is clear that I am not in a financial position to meet the above expenditures.


10.

I have requested the Respondent to make a contribution toward the aforesaid expenses but he indicated to met that I am a leech and that I can wait until the Divorce court determines the amount of maintenance that he should pay for the children. The respondent’s behaviour is very unacceptable but it is my opinion that he is merely angry at the fact that I have decided to proceed with the divorce and move from the common home.


11.

I submit that in view of the aforementioned it is clear that I need the amount of R6 000 as maintenance pendente lite for myself and my two children. I furthermore submit that the respondent is in a financial position to pay the said amount. I also need a contribution to my legal costs in the amount of R10 000.


I therefore humbly request the above Honourable Court to grant an order in the following terms:

(a) That the respondent pay maintenance of R6 000 per month for myself and our children pendente lite beginning on the 1st day of March 2000 and thereafter on or before the 1st day of each consecutive month



  1. That the respondent be ordered to pay a contribution of R10 000 towards my legal costs

(c) Further and/or alternative relief
