Singapore Spouse and Child Maintenance Law
Sometimes, divorce proceedings can be straightforward and both parties can come to an agreement relatively peacefully. More often than not, however, it may a very complex process with a lot of ins and outs that need to be addressed and agreed upon.
One important part of the divorce process is determining whether there should be ongoing money paid to one of the spouses and, where applicable, the children that will remain with them as the primary carer.
In the family court of Singapore, ‘maintenance’ is the term used for these payments and there are several factors that are investigated to determine the amount of maintenance to be paid.
