Family matters are rarely just legal matters — they are deeply personal. Whether you are contemplating separation, seeking a nuptial agreement, or fighting for fair access to your child, our team provides clear advice grounded in Singapore law.
We act as both your lawyer and your guide — protecting your interests while keeping the conversation solution-focused wherever possible.
Whether you are exploring an informal arrangement, a Deed of Separation or a Judicial Separation, we help you understand the options, protect your assets, and plan your next steps before any family law proceedings begin.
Protect what matters before or during marriage. We draft and review enforceable nuptial agreements tailored to Singapore law, covering asset division, maintenance and future contingencies.
Whether you are facing a simplified uncontested divorce or a complex legal battle, we provide compassionate and strategic legal advice. We guide you through the dissolution of marriage, protecting your rights regarding child custody, asset division, and maintenance.
Custody, care and control, and access — we help parents navigate these distinct legal concepts and advocate for arrangements that prioritise your child's welfare while safeguarding your parental rights.
From calculating fair monthly support to enforcing existing orders, we act for both paying and receiving parties in child maintenance and spousal maintenance matters.
When both sides can agree on the key terms before proceedings are filed, the matter typically resolves faster, at lower cost, and with less stress — whether through a Deed of Separation, a negotiated settlement, or mediation.
When the parties cannot agree on key issues — whether it concerns children, maintenance or division of assets — the matter must proceed as a contested application, and strong court advocacy becomes essential.

Separation means a couple lives apart without legally ending the marriage — it can be informal, by Deed of Separation, or Judicial Separation. Divorce legally dissolves the marriage. Many couples use a period of separation as evidence of irretrievable breakdown before filing for divorce.
The Court divides matrimonial assets in a just and equitable manner under section 112 of the Women's Charter, considering direct financial contributions, indirect contributions (homemaking and childcare), length of marriage, and the needs of any children.
Pre-nuptial agreements are not automatically binding, but the Court gives them significant weight when they are fair, freely entered into, and both parties received independent legal advice. A properly drafted agreement substantially strengthens your position.
If parents cannot agree, the Family Justice Courts decide based on the welfare of the child as the paramount consideration. Custody (major decisions), care and control (day-to-day living) and access are three separate concepts and are often split between parents.
There is no fixed formula. The Court considers the child's reasonable needs, each parent's financial capacity, the child's standard of living before the divorce, and other relevant factors under the Women's Charter.
An uncontested simplified divorce can conclude in around 4 to 6 months. Contested matters involving ancillary issues such as assets, custody or maintenance typically take 9 to 18 months or longer.
