Personal Protection Order [PPO] Lawyers Singapore

Seek help against family violence in Singapore

If you are in immediate danger, your first step should be to call the police without hesitation. Your safety is paramount. For victims of family violence or those who fear they may be at risk, there is a legal avenue to seek protection in Singapore—a Personal Protection Order (PPO). This order acts as an effective restraining measure against the person causing harm.

According to Section 64 of the Women's Charter (Cap 353), "family violence" encompasses the following:

Instilling Fear: Wilfully or knowingly instigating fear of harm in a family member.
Inflicting Harm: Causing harm to a family member through actions that were known or should have been known to result in harm.
Unlawful Confinement: Wrongfully confining or restraining a family member against their will.
Continuous Harassment: Persistently harassing a family member with the intention of causing anguish or knowing that such actions are likely to inflict distress.

Your Safety Matters

Whether you are a victim of family violence or live in fear of potential harm, we urge you to reach out to us. We are here to discuss your situation, offer guidance, and explore the available options to ensure your safety.

Personal Protection Orders can be sought to protect against the following individuals:

Spouse or former spouse
Children, including stepchildren and adopted children
Father, mother, in-laws, or siblings of the offender
Any other relative or person who is unable to care for themselves, as determined by the Court, and should be considered a member of the family

I was applying for a Grant of Letters of Administration. The process and cost were clearly explained; Christina Lim, the legal manager who handled my case was very methodical; and the draft documents were clear and free from errors (which is not the case with some law firms).

We want to thank Charlene, Jason and their team for their assistance in settling and closing my brother's divorce case.The entire divorce process was truly an emotionally tiring journey for my brother and his children. We must admit that we were shocked by certain requests and accusations of the other party. At time we found it difficult to understand the legal aspects as a layman. But Charlene and team were there for us. Though the outcome may not have been what we initially hoped for, their efforts in navigating the situation and legal guidance were invaluable. We are relieved that this chapter is now behind and my brother can move forward separately.Once again, thank you for the support and legal expertise during this challenging time.

Christina seemed very stern in the beginning. But after a few interaction, we like it that she gets to the point and get things done. It is not easy emotionally for us to be handlings probates/ administration matters, and tends to be a little extra sensitive. I supposed she needs to be firm at times to bring us to a logical mode to help us settle things fast. This is not an easy job. Appreciate the very clear and firm actions that helped us moved forward. Thank you.
