Do you have any anecdotal or legal precedent of this being possible ?BBCWatcher wrote: 2. Contact ICA and ask if they can place any sort of exit restriction in your child's immigration record.

(in both directions)... almost to the point of Singapore becoming a sort of haven for child abducting spouses (in my direct experience). I know Singapore has signed the Hague Convention on Child Abduction but I don't think the OP will get any traction out of it from what I've seen.

Or is it again one of the 1 In a 10,000,000 chance of happening - scenario?
As for holding the passport, if the mother is a bit smart, she can get an EC in two hours or less and catch the next flight out of town, legally so. All that without much complication.
Apologies for not being diplomatic but as seen first hand and as PNGMK to said, ICA has done zilch in similar cases. Asking them won't hurt , I do agree.sundaymorningstaple wrote: There is a heap of difference between ASK and TELL.![]()
Love your signature, btwPNGMK wrote:Correct - the one thing the HC has done is to allow OP to use it as a barrier to the child being removed from it's normal and natural home country (i.e. Singapore). But ICA won't do shit without a court order.
From what I learned is that I can go to Family Court and get the interim custody.ecureilx wrote:Do you have any anecdotal or legal precedent of this being possible ?BBCWatcher wrote: 2. Contact ICA and ask if they can place any sort of exit restriction in your child's immigration record.

ICA will not block any body leaving unless there is legal grounds.
Go find a lawyer and file a divorce case or stop complaining.
Mother has primary custody, and as a foreigner, you both can't use ICA for personal squabbles.
Which country do you both hail from ?
How old is your child?
And how the Singapore legal system is going to help you effectively with this? Not that I want to undermine your faith in the ways of the family courts....Singapurapura wrote:From what I learned is that I can go to Family Court and get the interim custody.ecureilx wrote:Do you have any anecdotal or legal precedent of this being possible ?BBCWatcher wrote: 2.

And a lawyer also told me that I still can apply for interim custody if the baby is not in Singapore.
She or her family member needs to bring our baby back here.
The lawyer say it's possible. Of course need to pay money to the lawyer to get it through.x9200 wrote:And how the Singapore legal system is going to help you effectively with this?
