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, they 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. They will explain the various kinds of last will and testaments and the advantages of each draft. Furthermore, you can depend on them 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.
Dealing with matters and requests that are primarily connected to children, such as guardianship is also their responsibility. The Guardianship of Infants Act allows someone who is not the kid’s parent to seek custody of the child. This is where we can be of assistance. 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 performed 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), maintenance orders (MO) and divorce-related concerns will be handled by them. They can 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who gets care and control of a child after divorce Singapore?
The court rules over who will have care and control of a child after a divorce. This is the very reason why you need the help of a family lawyer when getting a divorce. While the Family Law in Singapore favours co-parenting, in most cases, sole care and control will be given to one party only. As such, in order to protect your and your child’s interests, it is crucial to engage the help of an experienced family lawyer to represent you in a divorce.
