Hi,
In Singapore are children maintenance payments (following a divorce) to be made in advance or in arrears?
My view is that they are paid in advance like any other payment (mortgage loan, car loan, school fees, insurance, flight, etc) rather than in arrears like a usage based service like utilities, mobile phone bill, etc.
For example, if payment is made on the 20th of each month then this covers the 20th of that month until the 19th of the next month.
I tried finding specific guideline (law?) using Google but couldn't find anything.
Can someone provide specific links for Singapore law or at least common practice.
Thanks
