Episode Details

A South African man tried to dodge his spousal support payments by slashing them from 106K to just 8K rand a month, claiming his finances had collapsed. The court called him out—his ability to pay is based on what he actually has, not what he can borrow. His excuse about being unable to get loans? Nonsense. The judge noted his bank accounts showed hefty deposits that didn’t match his claimed income. Worse, he told his wife to tap into a family trust, claiming it wasn’t intentional. The court saw right through it. He was found in contempt, sentenced to 60 days in jail—suspended, for now. But if he misses a payment or fails to pay the back maintenance, that sentence becomes real. Plus, he’s on the hook for all legal costs.
