Landmark Court Victories

Court of Appeal Victory – One of the Largest Increases in Singapore Divorce Appeals
In TQU v TQT [2020] SGCA 08, our client, the former husband, was initially awarded just 25% of $13.6 million in matrimonial assets. He engaged our firm to handle the appeal. On appeal, we successfully secured a 75% share—an increase from $3.4 million to $10.2 million—representing one of the largest upward revisions in the history of Singapore divorce litigation. The Court described the matter as “complicated,” “challenging,” and “highly unusual.”
Court of Appeal Win – Leading Case Under New Division Framework
In Twiss, Christopher James Hans v Twiss, Yvonne Prendergast [2015] SGCA 52, we acted in one of the earliest Court of Appeal cases applying Singapore’s revised framework for the division of matrimonial assets. We successfully obtained an increased share for our client, helping shape the development of this area of law.
High Court Success – 72.5% Share in Contested Divorce
In XIK v XIL [2025] SGHCF 16, we represented the husband in a contested divorce and secured 72.5% of the matrimonial assets—demonstrating our ability to achieve strong outcomes even in complex disputes.
High Court Victory – Tracing and Recovery of Hidden Assets
In a case reported by The Straits Times (October 2022), we acted for the wife in a divorce where the ex-husband attempted to conceal over $3 million in assets. Through detailed forensic work, we uncovered the hidden assets and successfully protected our client’s entitlements.
$6 Million Award for Homemaker in Long-Running Case
In [2024] SGHC(A) 11, we secured over $6 million in matrimonial assets for a homemaker after a six-year legal battle. Our client prevailed against a five-member legal team led by a Senior Counsel, underscoring our firm’s commitment and capabilities in high-stakes litigation.

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.
