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.
Contested or Uncontested Divorce
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

- Spousal and child maintenance

We work efficiently to help you reach a fair and secure outcome that protects your future and the wellbeing of your family
FAQS
How Long Does Divorce Take?
An uncontested divorce typically takes 3 to 6 months. A contested divorce can take 12 months or longer depending on complexity. We work efficiently to resolve your matter as quickly as possible.
What Happens to My HDB Flat?
Your HDB flat is a matrimonial asset. One party may retain it by buying out the other’s share, or it may be sold and proceeds divided. CPF monies used to purchase the flat must be refunded to each party’s CPF account. We advise you clearly on your options from the start.
What Happens to CPF Savings?
CPF savings accumulated during the marriage are generally treated as matrimonial assets and may be subject to division. We will advise you on how CPF is likely to be treated in your specific case.
What is Divorce by Mutual Agreement?
DMA allows couples to file jointly without proving fault or separation. It suits couples who agree the marriage is over and want to proceed cooperatively.
How Do I Know if My Uncontested Divorce Settlement is Fair?
Many clients worry whether their settlement is fair before they sign. In uncontested divorces, the focus is often on completing the paperwork quickly, rather than understanding whether the terms are fair.
Our uncontested divorce fee includes a fairness check on your settlement, so you understand what you are signing before you commit.
