Award Winning Divorce Lawyers

Q: Will I be eligible to file for divorce?

To get a divorce in Singapore, the applicant must satisfy 3 requirements. You must have been married for a minimum of 3 years unless it can be proven that the party filing for divorce has suffered exceptional hardship or the spouse has been exceptionally unreasonable and cruel. The second requirement is that either party must (1) be a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident (PR), (2) have been domiciled in Singapore at the beginning of the divorce process, or (3) have lived in Singapore for the 3 years immediately preceding the divorce application. The third requirement is that the party filing for divorce must show that there has been an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. Please do reach out to discuss your situation and we can better guide you on your eligibility and options. The first consultation is free.

Q: What are the potential grounds for divorce?

There is only one real ground for divorce – the party filing for divorce must show an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. To establish “irretrievable breakdown”, the party filing for divorce is required to prove one of the following five facts: Adultery; Unreasonable behaviour; Desertion for 2 years; Separation for 3 years (and the defendant consents to a divorce); and Separation for 4 years. It is best to speak to a divorce lawyer to review your circumstances and seek advice on the possible options and next steps involved.

Q: What is the cost of divorce?

At PKWA Law we believe in fixed, clear & transparent pricing. Uncontested / amicable divorce $1,200 all in No children, property or maintenance $1,900 all in With children, property and maintenance Contested divorce Pricing will vary. Please get in touch for a free initial consultation.

Q: What is an uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce is one where both parties agree to a divorce and all ancillary issues. The main areas for agreement to be reached include: the reason for divorce; the party who will obtain care and control of the children; how the assets are divided, and; a reasonable amount of maintenance. Under an uncontested divorce, the interim judgment will be issued after 4 weeks, before final judgment is given 3 months from the date of obtaining the interim judgment.

Q: Can I get a divorce even if my spouse refuses?

Yes, even if your spouse is not agreeable to the divorce, you may still proceed to file for a contested divorce. In a contested divorce, the time frame for a case to be concluded is about 6 to 12 months on average. It would be advisable to speak to us for a free consultation so we can assess your situation and give you some options and next steps.

Q: How long does it take to get divorced in Singapore?

The time it takes to get divorced in Singapore will depend on the complexity of the situation and the amount of negotiation required. Generally speaking, a simplified uncontested divorce tends to be settled quicker, and an interim judgment can take as little as one month. A contested divorce may take 6 months or more to conclude.

Annabel Siow

06:45 29 Nov 21

Satisfactory. Wish they could be a little more patient and better explain their services inclusions and additional charges. Banks and law firms have different understanding and make it difficult for family members to settle the debts and assets of my Dad, as he did not leave a Will or a listing of his debts and assets. We thought the banks or law firms could help but these search are additional charges per financial insitutions by the law firms. Banks will not tell us anything until we have a legal letter.

We are very thankful to be well-served by Christina and their team of staff. We were not sure where to turn to, too many law firms offering and promising best service. It was a call made and attended by a helpful reception staff Miss Felicia. I remembered it was almost office closing time, however, she was still very patiently and helpful handling our enquiries, not rushing through. That left us with a deep impression. We made the decision right after that plus the good reviews received on google. Everyone at your law firm that we met was kind and patient.Christina has always made sure to follow-up closely and update us as & when.We would highly recommend this law firm not only for their good staff and quality service but also their reasonable legal fee. They are transparent with whatever they have quoted right at the beginning, truly no hidden cost.

PkWA was introduced to me from a relative as I needed to obtain the Grant of Probate to execute my late father's will... I had no clue of how to proceed and thankfully with clear advice and directions from Christina Lim, the whole process went well and duration was shorter than expected.On the day of collection of GoP, Christina went through again with me on how and what should be done on the second half of the procedure.Thank you once again and will highly recommend the service of PKWA.

I had researched online for application of LOA service and PKWA came to my attention as they have alot of good reviews and reasonable price (in actual fact, the cheapest). Thus, I had called PKWA and managed to book an appointment with one of their lawyers that can communicate in mandarin (as my mother was the one that requires the service). Jane Ng was the legal manger that was assigned to us, she is very friendly, detailed in explanation and patience (as my mother takes awhile to digest certain information). The whole process was fuss free and smooth. Glad that we had engaged PKWA/Jane's service. Thank you~~~

Its really very hard to find such an excellent attitude of service from law related personnel! I am more than pleased, to say the least with Nick Lee's service! He not only responded to my messages on a week night after office and also was very patent and super clear with his instructions even though as a salesperson, I am technically not his client! I believe Nick must have played a very big part on why PKWA is now a monster lawyer on hdb transactions. Excellent value+ great fees= Outstanding !! Five stars!!

David Chiu

Working overseas, it was not easy to balance the time-consuming, emotionally-draining, financial stresses and uncertainties of divorce in Singapore. PKWA Law understood my situation and did exceptionally well to communicate clearly, through email, for me to make balanced and legally-advised choices. They listened and interpreted, filtered out things that would not be helpful for the situation, avoided traps & skillfully maneuvered the path, gave assurances and communicated next steps and gave me likely outcomes that I would have had to consider to make the best decisions. PKWA managed to help me close at Mediation 1 without having to go further to Mediation 2 and the Litigation stages for which I am sincerely thankful.

Keline Ong

It was a blessing that I spoke with family and divorce lawyer specialist - Ms Jessica Chow and worked with senior legal executive - Mr Jason Mak. They were both extremely kind and understanding to me and made everything so smooth from the start to the finish. My divorce was finalized and completed officially in early 2020. I am so thankful to them. If you are reading my review, you may be going through a divorce as well and are looking for good representation. I cannot recommend PKWA Law Practice enough.
