Dear all bros, would need all ur advice.
CB Wife had already go court and claim maintenance from me, we are already staying apart for more then 1yr plus.
Going to divorce her end of this yr due to the fact of 3 yrs then can official divorce. Divorce ground is becos she is very stubborn, unreasonable behaviour. Tat time she was expecting my child, yet her behaviour got from bad to worst. Till she use violent in my family and my aging parents.
I can't put up with her anymore... Cos she still think wat she did was right, and put all the blame on us. B4 she give birth till she gave birth, i also got give her monthly $$$ but the CB still go court and claim maintenance from me. Heng my lawyer manage to fight to a lower amount then wat i used to give her. But the CB also nv let me see my kid till now, i also sian until i give up seeing liao. Pay maintenance yet can't see my kid. Damm sucky feeling...
Anyway, need you guys to advice on the below qns.

1. I bought my current house b4 i know her. And the house only have my name, my dad & mom name. Do she have ground to fight for the house?

2. As my current maintenance claim was base on my previous Job and my side line sole proprietor business. Now i have already left my previous job and concentrate fully on my business still as a sole proprietor, (under my name) which is expanding.
How can i safe guard myself and my business just in-case the CB knows it and come demand more maintenance from me? I wouldn't like to get into trouble with IRAS as she is those that can baotoa me.
She is those 100% money face kind of women.
Pls advice. Thanks

bro, no point fighting this divorce. The Women's Charter is on her side. Furthermore your kid is only a toddler so it is a double whammy against you. Your best course of action now is to see how you can "hide" your assets. Best if you can convert to cash but keep it off shore.


F*CK THE. WOMEN'S CHARTER. !!

bro pls enlighten me .......
so inshort the cpf contributed by me will be credited back to my cpf account.
only earning will be split right. BTW alimony is base on ones income right.

if taking for example , my job requires me to own a vechicle does my
allowance like , tranportation / mobile / variable / petrol / parking allowance be caluclated in the alimony ?

[heye]

furthermore when we sign the hdb agreement , we opt for 50/50 but i am actually paying full for the flat , does it mean that my cpf contribution will be transfer to her acct?

and does it mean if i am jobless i am still liable to pay the alimony?

Normally the case is whatever you used from your own cpf goes back to you, however in this case probably what you split is the resale profit as it was on 50/50 basis...only under bias judgment will the fucking familee cock judge award your cpf just like in my case....50% of what I had paid for my hdb by cpf fucking cock judge ordered me to transfer to my ex...even my lawyer then said it was unusual at that time....that also left me in a limbo cos then cpf rules then stated that 100% used for housing must go back into cpf..they refuse to let me withdraw my name from flat till i top back up the money...but fucking cock judge gave me three months to complete everything...so i lan lan had to run round gathering nearly 50k to put back into my cpf...

by the way any legal eagle can advise what is the legal age to stop maintenance for children? I am not saying I can't wait to stop my obligations to my kids but just want to know where i stand..

Thanks Bro Big Sexy, I guess as much...thou for the last few years I have been contributing more then my fair share of the maintenance...ex been asking me to pay half the cost for most of the things daughter needs like braces, clothing even to additional tuition..so much so that now i am footing out an additional $300 per month on top of my monthly $900...oc not happy that I am giving in too easily...haiz women..

Hello everyone, I need some advice from the legal experts here or maybe even any bro who was in the same predicament as me.

I was divorced more than 10 years ago and was awarded custody of my infant child. My ex-wife did not want the child at that time because she was intending to marry a foreigner and migrate. My relatives helped me to care for my child. Recently my ex-wife returned to singapore and inform me that she wants custody of the child now. She is now a citizen of a foreign country and has also inherited a substantial sum of money and assets from her present husband's mother who passed away earlier this year.

Can she go to the court again and ask for custody of our child? If she initiates court action in a foreign country and obtains judgement in her favour, is it enforceable in singapore?
