Your both adults and I'm sure you both love your kids, why not just live apart for a while, may be you can rekindle the fire eventually. When I look back on my own divorce, I was so stubborn, when she walked out, that I said if you go, I will never have you back, 6 month down the road she realised she didn't want too break up.cookedgoose wrote:Hi
I am unfortunate enough to find myself in a rather taxing situation. I have just lost my job, and my wife of 6 years (we are both expats) wants out of the marriage. On top of this we have young children.
We recently applied for PR, and neither of us wants to leave Singapore. Well, I would leave if the right job came up, as I would stay if it were to come up here in Singapore.
What are the procedures for this? Will my soon to be ex and kids still be allowed to live in Singapore? Essentially I will be supporting them in every way that I possibly can (as soon as I find a new job).
Any knowledge that can be shared would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I certainly wouldn't rush to tell the ICA about what has happened. The original poster's application was 100% correct at the time it was submitted, so he's committed no crime, and even though the severance period has started, he is still employed at the moment. His employer is not going to notify the tax authorities etc until his employment actually ends, by which time he should already have his PR and thus be in the clear.Grim Reaper wrote:PR applications here are in most cases processed within 6 to 8 weeks. So my guess is that your PR status will be known faster than you get divorced. But at the same time I would say both of you would have to update the ICA with your status regarding the possible divorce and especially you would have to let them know about your unemployment, as I am almost sure this is stated in the application: you have to make sure the latest information is available to the ICA when processing the application for PR.
This is what I read JP?cookedgoose wrote:Hi

Quite right! The wind & the weather changes every minute of the day, So tell them nothing until you are ready.cookedgoose wrote:One last important point. My job may have been lost, but there are already other options out there. For a little less money yes, but the options are there. So I do not believe I am doing anyone a favour by running back to the MOM to tell them my latest position. At least, not until I know for sure myself what that may be.
