When Do You Need a Family Lawyer in Singapore?

A family law firm may devote most of its time and manpower to divorce cases in Singapore. Thus, one may be confused between a family lawyer and a divorce lawyer. Aside from divorce cases, a family lawyer handles a wide range of other legal matters under the Singapore Family Law.

For one, a family lawyer can guide you in the creation of your will as well as the alterations and amendments that you might want to make after its drafting. A family lawyer will explain the various kinds of last will and testaments and the advantages of each draft. Furthermore, you can depend on a family lawyer to prepare your will for probate. Likewise, should you need to apply for Letters of Administration or Grant of Probate following the passing of a relative, a family lawyer is the legal person to consult.

A family lawyer also deals with matters and requests that are primarily connected to children, such as guardianship. The Guardianship of Infants Act allows someone who is not the kid’s parent to seek custody of the child. Our family lawyers can be of assistance here. We conduct family law research to assist people who are not the child’s biological parents in requesting custody for the benefit of the child. 

The adoption process is assisted by our family lawyers in a similar manner. To make sure all the paperwork is in place and the adopting parents are properly represented to get the adoption granted, it is imperative that you hire a family lawyer. Personal protection orders (PPO) and maintenance orders are also dealt with by a family lawyer (MO). As mentioned above, a family lawyer handles divorce-related concerns as well. You can obtain assistance from the family lawyer to address this matter for you whether you and your partner have mutually decided to get a divorce or you have a disagreement in some areas of the legal process.
