Скачать или смотреть Receivers & Liquidators in Divorce | What You Need to Know About Asset Division in South Africa

When divorcing spouses can’t agree on how to divide their assets, a South African court may appoint a receiver or liquidator - terms usually heard in business and insolvency law. But in family law, they serve a powerful purpose.

I’m Simon Dippenaar, a family lawyer based in Cape Town. In this video, I explain what receivers and liquidators do during divorce proceedings, how they differ, and when their appointment becomes necessary.

You’ll learn:

The difference between a receiver and a liquidator
When a court appoints one in a divorce
What powers they hold
The pros and cons of using a third party to divide assets
Why mediation is still the best path forward—if it’s possible

Whether you’re in a high-conflict divorce, managing joint business assets, or facing a non-cooperative spouse, understanding the role of receivers and liquidators will help you navigate this stage with clarity and confidence.

At SD Law, we always advocate for mediated, respectful resolution - but when needed, we walk beside our clients through the more technical, strategic side of family law.
