Divorce statistics in Singapore should you be interested
Just in case the worst happens, here’s what you need to know about retaining your property. Special thanks to Withers KhattarWong’s Ivan Cheong and Shaun Ho, for contributing their legal knowledge of the matter:
The situation may not be as “black and white” as we often assume
When talking to homeowners about the property as a marital asset, we often encounter oversimplifications. Statements such as “I paid more for it, so the house is mine”, or “It was willed to me by my parents, so my spouse has no claim”.
Cheong’s practice focuses on family law, divorce proceedings, custody disputes, and pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements.
The hires come days after Withers lost two lawyers to Harry Elias Partnership, namely banking and finance partners Pearl Lim and Chan Wai Chong.
Following Cheong’s addition, Withers now has 27 partners in Singapore.
