Thanks for your suggestion, I will venture into going into HDB-hub and see what info I can obtain from them.JR8 wrote:As this forum is mostly frequented by expats, there is likely to be little collective wisdom of the procedures in buying off-plan HDB property.

Have you considered going to a place like the HDB-hub in Toa Payoh, taking a queue ticket, observing roughly how quickly the ticket numbers are called, and if you have a wait, go and shop, or have some food, or read a book. On such a highly significant question, I'd have thought it would merit just a little time, free of charge, and going straight to the authoritative source.
Or are you seeking to see how you can 'tailor' your situation within the rules, for personal advantage?
No.aHLe wrote:Hi all, I need some expert advice on this as I am currently facing this problem at this moment right now. Finding lawyers and agents are out of my league now as I am totally broke.
I have brought an EC with my wife back then in 2011 which is scheduled to be completed in 2015. However, due to some personal reasons, we are unable and near impossible to work out anymore.
We have sat down numerous times and discussed about this but we have already came to a conclusion that divorce is the best way out for us.
Questions:
1) How do I settle the EC we have brought previously? Can we sell off our share even if its not completed?
Best to ask HDB and private developer2) I know there is a standard MOP we need to maintain for 5 years before we can sell off (assuming after completion), does it means we have to maintain as legally married during this period of time?
No. Don't think that is possible.3) Can I buy over my wife's EC share or vice versa? If possible, how do I go about doing it (or her buying mine)?
Best to ask the developer for more information.4) Under HDB ruling, are we allowed to sell off the EC during the 1st year and say compensate some cash back?
You really need to give the developer and HDB a call.I seriously need answers to all these and the best approach to have this settle amicably.. Experts out there, can someone please advice me as much as you can?
As what SMS has suggested, get a good lawyer.The Women’s Charter applies to men and women in Singapore.

We have 3 kids but it seems like I might lose the custody since Singapore protects woman more. Whatsmore, my spouse has a stable income whereas I'm an insurance agent with no basic income.
What are my chances seriously? It kinda sucks knowing that woman are protected despite how bad she treats the household (house is like a hotel to her, comes back at will, sometimes in the morning, sometimes MIA for days).
