Divorce
Deciding to end a marriage is rarely simple, and the legal process that follows can feel just as uncertain. Eunice guides clients through every stage of divorce in Singapore — from establishing the right grounds to file, through to resolving ancillary matters and obtaining the Final Judgment.
WhatsApp about DivorceUnderstanding your options before you commit to a path
Not every divorce needs to be a fight. Where both parties are willing, an uncontested divorce on the Simplified Track is typically faster and less costly, resolving in months rather than years. Where agreement isn’t possible on every issue, a contested divorce allows the court to decide — but this route takes longer and demands careful preparation. Eunice will assess your circumstances honestly and advise which path genuinely serves your interests, rather than defaulting to litigation.
Support beyond the paperwork
Divorce proceedings intersect with some of the most personal parts of a client’s life — where children will live, what happens to the family home, and financial security going forward. Eunice works to keep clients informed and steady through each stage, translating legal process into plain terms so decisions can be made with clarity rather than panic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in Singapore?
An uncontested divorce on the Simplified Track can conclude within a few months once documents are in order. A contested divorce, involving disputes over custody, assets, or maintenance, commonly takes 6 to 18 months or longer depending on complexity.
What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce?
In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree on the divorce itself and all related matters — children, assets, and maintenance — allowing a faster, simpler process. A contested divorce involves disagreement on one or more issues, requiring mediation, affidavits, and potentially a trial before the court decides.
Can I file for divorce if my spouse does not agree?
Yes. You may still file for a contested divorce by establishing that the marriage has irretrievably broken down, typically through grounds such as unreasonable behaviour, desertion, adultery, or a period of separation.
