Deed of Separation Lawyers in Singapore: A Clear Path Forward

If you and your spouse have decided to live apart but are not ready for a divorce, a Deed of Separation can provide a clear and legally binding agreement for your future. This document formally outlines the terms of your separation, protecting your interests and providing a structured arrangement for your family's needs without the finality of a divorce.

Why a Deed of Separation?

A Deed of Separation is a formal alternative to an immediate divorce. It's often chosen by couples who:

  • Need time to decide. It provides a trial separation period without the legal commitment of a divorce.
  • Want to formalise arrangements. It ensures issues like child custody, finances, and living arrangements are clearly defined and legally enforceable.
  • Have been married for less than three years. If you do not meet the legal requirement for a divorce, a Deed of Separation allows you to formalize your arrangements in the meantime.

What Our Service Covers

Our lawyers will help you negotiate and draft a comprehensive Deed of Separation that addresses all key areas, including:

  • Children: Who the children will live with, access rights for the non-resident parent, and financial support.
  • Property: The division of shared assets, including the HDB flat or private property.
  • Maintenance: Spousal and child maintenance.
  • Living Arrangements: The date of separation and confirmation that you will live in separate residences.

Is a Deed of Separation Legally Binding?

Yes. A properly drafted Deed of Separation is a legally binding contract. While it does not dissolve the marriage, its terms can be submitted to the court during future divorce proceedings, which is often accepted if the terms are fair and reasonable.
