Divorce in Singapore
One thing you might consider is marriage counselling. Which is seeking to identify any issues, and setting out to resolve them in a cooperative way. It is a logical first step to try and patch things back together.
I realise that such matters can become entrenched and akin to war, it's a hideous experience and best avoided if at all possible.
If I were you I'd start Googling. Start with 'Singapore divorce how' and so on. If you can find a divorce forum or self-help group that would probably be a great resource for you.

in both case, judge sent the couple for counselling, then mediation. .. and then more mediation .. etc. etc.
by then, the 3 year will be up !!
That sounds quite enlightened. IME these days courts want to see that all avenues have been tried before a judgement in divorce proceedings is reached. Of course it can get more complicated if material assets are involved and way*2 more still if children are involved.ecureilx wrote: helped a couple of friends, one through the Sariyah court, and another, civil court.

1. Yes - unless you can prove abuse or adultery.changxin wrote:1. You mean if I wan to divorce now is impossible unless we had separated for three years?PNGMK wrote:1. Divorce in Singapore Family Court required a 3 year separation unless evidence of adultery or abuse etc is presented. Once 3 years passes (or you have evidence of such abuse or adultery from a PI) you can divorce without his permission.changxin wrote:If I am the one who refuse to having sex and live with him, can I still proceed to divorce or annulment? Between, he not agree to divorce..
2. You can unilaterally start an annulment if you want to use the reason "marriage never consummated". There's no evidence required; simply a statement. Of course he may say "No, I did have sex with her" in which case you will have some difficulties but IME because an annulment offers a quick way out without issues over property settlement or spousal support he may go along.
2. Can I personally filed an annulment? Can you advise me how to do it? I had totally no idea.. Coz he told me we only can divorced after 3 years of marriage..
2. Yes - use a lawyer.

As I understand it, it is similar in concept to the American Legal Separation with the exception it is not entered into via court order. But it is there to give the couple time to possibly work out their differences. Especially if children are involved.
My 2nd marriage went through the "a mensa et thoro" and it remained there for a couple of years until well after I arrived in Singapore and finally decided I wanted to remarry. At that time, just to make thing expedient, I call the 2nd wife, and sent her the money to pay a lawyer to finalize the divorce prior to marrying here in Singapore.Legal separation (sometimes "judicial separation," "separate maintenance," "divorce a mensa et thoro," or "divorce from bed-and-board") is a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a de facto separation while remaining legally married. A legal separation is granted in the form of a court order.

Re: Divorce in Singapore
While in part I agree I like AWARE. They shut down the pro gay education that was creeping into the Singapore school system and showed Singapore how democracy can work.JR8 wrote:Don't provide it for men too?
