2 August 2026 – Our Head of Family Law, Low Jin Liang, recently participated in a dialogue hosted by the Ministry of Law and Minister for Law, Edwin Tong, together with members of the family law community.
The session brought together legal practitioners and other stakeholders to exchange views on Singapore’s family justice system and discuss how families experiencing divorce and related disputes can be better supported.
In his Facebook post following the diaglogue, Minister Tong observed that “divorce is one of the most painful and disorienting experiences” many families face, with its effects often continuing long after legal proceedings have concluded, particularly where children are involved. He also noted that the therapeutic justice model represents a shift towards a more healing and family-centred approach.
As family lawyers, we appreciate the opportunity to participate in this dialogue and to contribute practical perspectives drawn from our experience assisting clients through some of the most challenging periods of their lives.
We are grateful to the Ministry of Law and Minister Tong for the invitation to participate in this dialogue and look forward to continuing to contribute to the ongoing development of Singapore’s family justice system, including initiatives that further strengthen therapeutic justice and support families navigating divorce.
