Frequently Asked Questions
Can both parents get custody of a child?
Yes. Courts in Singapore often grant joint custody, with care and control awarded to one parent and access to the other.
Can custody or access arrangements be changed later?
Yes, if there is a material change in circumstances, you can apply to vary the existing court order.
What if the other parent denies access despite court orders?
Legal action can be taken to enforce access rights, including applications for enforcement orders or penalties.
What counts as matrimonial assets in Singapore?
Property acquired during the marriage, or used/enjoyed by the family, may be classified as matrimonial—even if owned by one party.
Are assets always divided 50/50?
No. Courts consider factors like financial and non-financial contributions, length of marriage, and future needs.
Can I keep my HDB flat after divorce?
It depends on eligibility, ownership structure, and caregiving responsibilities. Legal advice is crucial for HDB issues.
