Clear Legal Guidance Through Difficult Times
Our team of specialist divorce lawyers provides compassionate and expert legal representation for individuals going through divorce in Singapore. We help clients navigate complex asset division, custody arrangements, and financial settlements, ensuring outcomes are fair, practical, and tailored to their circumstances.
Whether you are considering divorce, in the midst of proceedings, or dealing with post-divorce matters, we focus on clarity, protection of your interests, and achieving the best possible resolution for you and your family.
Ongoing Support as Circumstances Change
Relationships and financial circumstances evolve over time. In some cases, couples may wish to review or update their arrangements after marriage to reflect changes in assets, responsibilities, or personal situations.
Reviewing Asset Arrangements
Couples may wish to review how assets are treated as circumstances change. We assist with updating and clarifying asset arrangements to ensure they remain fair, practical, and aligned with current needs.
Financial Arrangements
Financial responsibilities and expectations can evolve over time. We advise on postnuptial arrangements relating to income, expenses, and financial support, helping couples maintain clarity and avoid misunderstandings.
Family-Related Considerations
Where family circumstances change, existing arrangements may need to be revisited. We provide guidance on updating agreements to reflect new responsibilities and considerations in a measured and thoughtful way.
Cross-Border Considerations
For couples with international connections, changes in residency or asset location can affect existing arrangements. We advise on postnuptial matters involving cross-border considerations to ensure agreements remain effective and enforceable.

As Featured In
Comprehensive Support for Post-Divorce Arrangements
Our dedicated legal team specializes in helping international clients resolve the critical financial and family matters that follow divorce. We skillfully navigate Singapore’s legal framework.
Child Custody
Child matters require careful resolution, with custody, care, and access arrangements either agreed upon privately or determined by the court. Singapore courts typically favor joint custody solutions, with decisions consistently prioritizing children's welfare and developmental needs above all other factors.
Division of Assets
Dividing matrimonial assets works most smoothly when spouses reach mutual agreement on property distribution. When consensus proves impossible, the court will intervene during ancillary proceedings, evaluating direct financial contributions alongside indirect factors like homemaking and childcare to determine equitable division.
Spousal Maintenance
Singapore law maintains gender-specific maintenance provisions, with disabled husbands being the only exception to receive spousal support. Conversely, husbands bear legal responsibility to financially maintain their wives both during marriage and following divorce, with maintenance levels reflecting the marital standard of living.
Child Maintenance
Both parents share legal responsibility for child maintenance following divorce, regardless of custody arrangements. When determining appropriate support amounts, courts consider multiple factors including parental income, the child's reasonable expenses, educational needs, established lifestyle, and any special circumstances affecting the child's wellbeing.
Immigration Status
Expatriate spouses holding Dependant Passes face immigration challenges post-divorce, as these passes are typically cancelled upon marriage dissolution. Continued residence in Singapore requires securing alternative immigration status—such as an Employment Pass, EntrePass, or other eligible visa category—before divorce proceedings conclude to avoid disruption.
