Lawyers at Gloria James-Civetta & Co, are here to work with you in making sure that you obtain the best results possible from your divorce proceedings now and in years to come.  Our experienced divorce lawyers provide honest and up-to-date advice about and throughout the divorce process. 
1) What is required to file a divorce in Singapore?
Information required the date of registration of the marriage, the number of years of marriage, details on how the marriage broke down, number of children, total assets.
The points listed above are non-exhaustive. Contact our lawyers for more advice.
2)How long does it take to complete a divorce?
This depends on the nature of divorce. A non-contested divorce can be completed within 4 to 5 months. On the other hand, a contested and acrimonious divorce may last more than a year.
3) What is the difference between a divorce and annulment?
An annulment of marriage is a legal decree that a marriage is null and void. Annulments are granted when a court makes a finding a marriage is invalid. While a divorce ends a legally valid marriage, an annulment treats the marriage as if it never existed.

  2. Wow, I didn't realize that a contested divorce could last over a year. Thanks for the information on divorce law. It looks like I will be needing to hire a divorce lawyer because I am pretty sure my divorce will be contested.
