Divorce can be a
very painful and traumatic process for everyone involved, be it the couple, the
children and other members of the family.
One way to lessen
the pain would be to minimize the time spent on the procedure as much as
possible. This can be done through both husband and wife opting for an
uncontested divorce in Singapore.
An uncontested
divorce is when both parties can come to an agreement on all outstanding issues.
Such cases can proceed quickly and will
normally take less than a year for it to be fully completed. Also, both parties
get to save a significant amount of legal cost compared to if they get
uncontested divorce. They will only need the services of one divorce lawyer.
However, for
couples that are not able to settle and opt for a contested divorce instead,
the process may be harder and more costly. Some issues that couples might not
be able to settle on may be issues like who will get custody of the children,
the timings that the other party will get to spend time with the children, the
maintenance amount, and the splitting up of assets, just to name a few. This
process is not only much more costly but could take up to anything from a year
to 5 years or more, depending on the parties’ willingness to comply with each
other’s requests.
