Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment, even if it is R150 or R200.

Was he married to the Jamaican woman before you guys got married, or after?

Were you married in a civil ceremony? Or through a customary marriage?

You might need to apply for a divorce and ask the High Court for directions on how the summons must be served on him.
