Our firm has more than 100 employees and 30 years of history. Our clients include all the major banks such as DBS, UOB, OCBC and Maybank. We are a safe and trusted choice.

Our fees are fixed, clear and transparent from the outset, and we are happy to offer a free initial consultation.

It is a parent’s duty to maintain the child until the child reaches adulthood whether or not they have custody. Similarly, a parent’s right to have access to their child is sacrosanct and will be heavily guarded by the Court. Only in very extreme circumstances will access be taken away from a parent, e.g. where there is violence. In the case of alleged violence, the Court may still give supervised access.

At PKWA Law, our team of child custody lawyers strongly believe that parents should co-operate with each other when it comes to parenting the child. A child needs both parents’ love, and attention and parents should take care to ensure that their divorce does not affect the child adversely.

If you require legal advice and support in any matters regarding custody, care & control, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Charlene helped me with family legal advice during a very tough time. I found her to be highly knowledgeable, professional, and diligent in handling my issue. She is always available to answer my questions and guide me through the process. She and her colleague Jason, dedication to my case was evident. I am so thankful for the positive resolution they achieved. It felt reassuring to know a skilled and compassionate lawyer was handling my case. I would give Charlene and Jason at PKWA Law practice the highest recommendation to support you.

My wife was a Singapore National with permanent residence status in the UK. When she passed away it was necessary to obtain probate both in the UK but also for assets she retained in Singapore. I first contacted PKWA Law when I brought her ashes home to Singapore. They were very helpful and recommended that Probate be first granted in the UK and then submitted by them for resealing in Singapore. This is what happened and it was possible to deal with the whole transaction remotely from the UK. This was because Christina from PKWA was very clear as to what was required and I was able to use a Notary Public in the UK when documents and signatures needed to be certified.Christina was able to ensure that the whole process proceeded without a hitch and in a timely manner.
