Singapore Divorce Lawyer

There is basically a three step process required to apply for a divorce. It starts with the filing of a writ for divorce, followed by a statement of particulars and statement of claim. The latter of the three outlines the grounds for which divorce is being filed, which of course must meet at least one of the conditions mentioned above. The statement of particulars lists the details that pertain to the grounds.

Children are also taken into account during the divorce proceedings, with the parties expected to make the court aware of their plans for future care of their children under the age of 21.

If the couple are still sharing a home, they must also detail what their future housing plans will be if the divorce is granted. You can refer to the HDB Divorce Rules if you have a HDB property.

Once all the documents have been completed, the court will review them and decide if they are acceptable. If yes, the defendant will receive a notice of action informing them of the divorce proceedings.
