The work, in plain terms.
Divorce
In Singapore the process has two stages: dissolving the marriage, and then resolving the ancillary matters, which are the children, the maintenance and the assets. They are dealt with in that order, and confusing the two is a common source of anxiety.
Children: custody, care and control, and access
These are three different questions and the court treats them differently. Custody concerns who makes the major decisions. Care and control concerns where the child lives day to day. Access concerns the time the other parent spends with the child. The child's welfare is the court's first consideration.
Maintenance
For a spouse and for children, including applications to vary an existing order when circumstances have genuinely changed.
Division of matrimonial assets
The matrimonial home, CPF monies, savings, investments and business interests. The court weighs both financial and non-financial contributions, which means that time spent raising children counts.
Personal protection orders
Where there is family violence, we can move quickly. Tell us plainly what is happening.
Deeds of separation
For couples who are not ready to divorce, or who do not yet satisfy the time requirements, a properly drafted deed can settle matters in the meantime.
Adoption
Adoption proceedings in Singapore, including step-parent adoptions: the application, the home study requirements and the court process, explained before you begin.
