Common questions
How are matrimonial assets divided in a Singapore divorce?
The court divides matrimonial assets in whatever proportions it considers just and equitable, which is not automatically 50:50. In dual-income marriages it usually follows the structured approach from ANJ v ANK, weighing each spouse’s financial and non-financial contributions; in single-income marriages it takes a broader view of the whole marriage.

A divorce is uncontested when both spouses agree that the marriage should end and on the fact relied on; it can then usually go on the Simplified Track. If one spouse disputes the divorce, it is contested and goes on the Normal Track. Either way, any disagreements about children, assets or maintenance can still be resolved later through mediation or by the court.
