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.

Recently we have to claim our late sister’s funds from a bank in Singapore. As we (her siblings) are all residing overseas and moreover our late sister did not leave a will made it very difficult. I searched online for a Singapore law firm and approached PKWA lawyers with just a simple email l and was most pleased with the immediate attention and care Christina Lim and Charlene Nah showed. Within a few days we were on the way to apply for a Reseal of Grant of Letter of Administration. The cost was very reasonable and importantly there were no hiccups at all on our application even in the midst of covid. We had zoom meetings with Charlene and she demonstrated to us her clear knowledge on the legal matters involved. Within a few short months we were able to achieve our aim. We would strongly recommend anyone seeking legal help to contact PKWA and special thanks to Christina and Charlene.

While looking for a law firm to apply for the Grant of Probate, an ex-classmate referred PKWA to me. In less than 30 minutes after I submitted my enquiry, I received a call from Ms Christina Lim, with her purpose to understand more on my requests. From then on, Christina has never failed to provide timely update on the progress, be it through meetings at PKWA Office, via phone calls or emails. Christina is firm, professional, efficient and attentive. She is very clear in her instructions and prepares me what to expect. Though it took longer than the expected time frame to obtain the Grant of Probate due to additional documents required by the court, Christina explained patiently to keep me in the loop of the developments. Subsequently when the Grant of Probate was obtained, Christina took the trouble to brief me how to go about with this document to settle with the banks.I would like to commend on the excellent work done by Ms Christina Lim and her team for obtaining the Grant of Probate for my late father. It has facilitated my family to settle the assets smoothly. Strongly recommend PKWA to anyone who require legal advice/service.Thank you.

I must thank Christina Lim sincerely for her valuable advice and guiding me through the process of getting my Grant for Letter of Administration without any hitch. She is patient, responsive, professional, meticulous and systematic. She helped to speed up the process and getting what I want in the shortest possible timeframe. This help in minimising the cost of my legal fees. Which I believe could add up quite lot if I have to follow through with all the original list of assets I proposed earlier. All because some of these items do not require probate.I would strongly recommend anyone with a problem to go to PKWA Law Practice LLC as they provide affordable and effective legal services.Michael Yen

Our dad passed away few months back and left us with a will and we needed help from lawyer firm to get a Grant of Probate. Initially we went down to another lawyer to seek consultation but it ended up getting us feeling more confused than before.Luckily, we found PKWA from the Internet and proceeded to contact them via WhatApps to book for first free consultation appointment. The lady also told us how to get to their office, what documents to bring and the deposit amount if we want them to proceed immediately with the case.During the first appointment at their office, they are very professional and advised us on all the steps that we will need to go through as well as the estimated timeline. We only went down to their office a total of 3 times within a span of around 1.5 months and we got our Grant of Probate. Also, during the last session with them, they re-iterated the steps that we will need to execute after getting grant of probate again just in case we forgot about it.All in all, PKWA is very professional, fast and gave good concise advice to us thus the lawyer fees are also very reasonable. Definitely recommended!

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.

Christina of PKWA is very professional and serve with her heart.Unfortunately, the alternate work from home requirement due the pandemic hinders me from reaching her easily. On occasion I call her at the office for clarification and if she is working from home, will have to reach her the next working day or e-mail to her.

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.
