Resolving Divorce For You

Divorce is a major life change, and navigating the legal process can feel overwhelming without the right legal representation.  Our team of experienced divorce lawyers in Singapore offers practical solutions and fixed-fee options, ensuring you understand your options and feel supported throughout.  Whether you are filing for contested or uncontested divorce, we protect your interests every step of the way.

In Singapore, divorce is governed by the Women’s Charter and may be filed under one of six grounds showing the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage: Divorce by Mutual Agreement (DMA), adultery, unreasonable behaviour, desertion, three-year separation with consent, or four-year separation without consent.

Divorces can be uncontested or contested depending on whether parties agree on key issues such as child arrangements, maintenance, and the division of matrimonial assets.

Our divorce lawyers in Singapore guide you through the entire process, from assessing eligibility and filing to negotiation and court hearings, and help you resolve critical practical matters, including whether your HDB flat can be retained or must be sold and how CPF monies used on the property are treated as part of the asset division. We deliver clear, strategic advice so you can make informed decisions at every stage.

Where possible, we assist clients in pursuing uncontested divorce or Divorce by Mutual Agreement to reduce conflict, costs, and delays. When disputes cannot be avoided, we provide firm and strategic representation in contested proceedings involving children, maintenance, or significant assets. Our role includes evaluating settlement options, advising on mediation where appropriate, and guiding clients through court processes with clarity and confidence, always focused on achieving a practical and sustainable outcome.

We assist clients with the full range of divorce and family law matters:

  • Uncontested and contested divorce
  • Child custody and access
  • Spousal and child maintenance
  • Division of matrimonial assets
  • Post-divorce variations
  • Negotiation, mediation and dispute resolution

We work efficiently to help you reach a fair and secure outcome that protects your future and the wellbeing of your family.
