Lawyer for Variation of Court Order in Singapore

Helping you navigate changes in court orders after divorce

Following a divorce, it's not uncommon for circumstances to evolve, necessitating adjustments to existing Court Orders. These changes can arise from personal or financial shifts that occur naturally over time.

Common reasons for varying a Court order include:

Changing Family Dynamics: The expenses related to children and/or an ex-spouse may fluctuate, whether due to increased needs or a decrease in financial obligations.

Financial Transitions: The financial situation of the party responsible for maintenance may also undergo changes, such as job loss, reduced earnings, or illness. These shifts can significantly impact their ability to meet existing obligations.

Best Interests of the Children: In some cases, both parties may recognize that modifying the custody, care, and control of children is in the children's best interests as they grow and circumstances evolve.

To amend an existing Court Order, you must initiate a legal process known as an application to vary an Order. While pursuing a change, it's advisable to seek agreement between the parties involved rather than resorting to a contested application.

For comprehensive guidance and expert advice on varying Court Orders, connect with our experienced team of family lawyers. We are here to help you navigate these changes and ensure that the best interests of all parties involved are upheld. Your peace of mind is our priority. Contact us today to discuss your specific situation.

I researched quite extensively - talking with social workers, counsellors and checking information available on social media to see how best I could handle my late brother's estate matters.Finally, I was convinced to approach PKWA Law Practice LLC for advice. On my first free consultation with Ms. Christina Lim, Legal Manager, I felt very comfortable as she explained very clearly what needs to be done. The legal fees charged were reasonable, in my opinion, considering the professionalism that was displayed by her. I was impressed on how expeditiously the whole process was coordinated and handled, plus the valuable advices that I got from her along the way.I needed help and was glad I could get it professionally from PKWA Law Practice LLC. Thank You Very Much !

We recently engaged Christina for the application of the Grant of Letters of Administration, and I couldn't be more pleased with her services.The entire process took about five months, which was understandable given that there was no will left behind and the time required for submission and approval by the court.Throughout the process, Christina was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She guided us through every step, ensuring that we were well-informed at every stage and what to expect next.After we received the Letter of Administration, she continued to assist us by walking us through the process of setting up an estate account, which was a great help.I highly recommend Christina to anyone in need of legal assistance in this area. Her expertise and supportive approach made a challenging situation much easier to navigate.

Christina attended to me and assisted with required Probate and Letter of Admin letters. Process of getting certain info from gov agencies was tedious as I had to apply for leave during office hours to officially put in the requests personally. But once the info was provided to Christina, processing it was quite fast and scheduling of meetings was straightforward. Would recommend anyone looking for straightforward engagements to consider them.

Ms Charlene was appointed to me for my case in 2018. She has been a very helpful lawyer, going out of her way to assist me in my case. She gave many advises with her expertise. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in her field. With the assistance of Mr Jason, PKWA made my experience a pleasant one, as they would give me advises when necessary, and aid me in providing the necessary information.PKWA is also a helpful firm, as they fairly price their services. They do not overcharge for their services and provide quality service for their client. I will definitely use PKWA as my lawyer if the opportunity arises, especially from Ms Charlene and Jason.

Since the demise of my late brother, my family was in a lost of what to do with his investment account. We were told to get a grant of probate or letter of administrator by the bank from a lawyer. Upon some search from the web, we found PKWA law and I am directed to Jennifer. She is very helpful and detailed in assisting with the letter of administrator. Just within a few meeting, the letter of administrator is ready within a month as compared to 3 to 6 months from other entities. She even went the extra miles to explain on what is to be done with the documents when proceeding to the banks. On a side note, there price is very transparent and no hidden cost. I would highly recommend PKWA. Thanks Jennifer and team for their assistance during our difficult period.

My wife was a Singapore National with permanent residence status in the UK. When she passed away it was necessary to obtain probate both in the UK but also for assets she retained in Singapore. I first contacted PKWA Law when I brought her ashes home to Singapore. They were very helpful and recommended that Probate be first granted in the UK and then submitted by them for resealing in Singapore. This is what happened and it was possible to deal with the whole transaction remotely from the UK. This was because Christina from PKWA was very clear as to what was required and I was able to use a Notary Public in the UK when documents and signatures needed to be certified.Christina was able to ensure that the whole process proceeded without a hitch and in a timely manner.
