Fantastic service! I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with IRB Law’s work. The lawyers and staff make you feel comfortable and confident and work hard to get what you deserve. Ms. Caryn was very thorough to understand our side of the case. She held my hand throughout the process, always treated me with respect, never gave me the runaround, but most of all listened to what I wanted and did that and more! She took a gamble on me and has a very professional team! Caryn is the best – seriously!

4 of us, my sister and husband, my wife and I had our wills and LPAs done at IRB Law LLP. Mr Andrew Wong of IRB helped us in drafting our Wills and LPAs. He explained to us clearly about the wills and LPAs and patiently guided us through the process of drafting our wills. He answered her queries clearly and we had a much better understanding of wills and LPAs. We would like to say a thank you. I would also like to give a thumbs up to Andrew and Amelia during the initial queries and arrangements to fix the appointment today. They answered my queries quickly and promptly which helped me decide to use IRB Law.

I am truly grateful to this legal team for their professionalism, dedication, and genuine care throughout my case. Going through legal matters after a divorce is never easy—emotionally or mentally—but this team made the entire process much more manageable and reassuring. Mr. Hashim was the first person who came into contact with me. He patiently guided me through the initial process, explained the steps clearly, and provided reassurance when I felt lost and overwhelmed. His guidance gave me clarity and confidence during a very difficult period. Mr. Andrew assisted me extensively throughout the case. He was extremely patient and took the time to explain every detail clearly and thoroughly. Most importantly, he fought all the way for my best interests and benefits, and the outcome was great for me. I am truly grateful to have had him and the team standing by me throughout this journey. I would also like to sincerely thank Ms. Nabilah and Ms. Waheedah, who were always friendly, helpful, and responsive. Their support and warm attitude made the entire process much less stressful and helped me feel supported every step of the way. The outcome was great for me, and I am deeply grateful to have had this team with me during such a challenging time. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate, and professional legal support.

Our family in India went through the most terrifying phase of our lives when my husband was suddenly accused in Singapore and kept in custody for over three long months. We are in India and those days were filled with fear, sleepless nights, and constant worry about what awaited him. In that unbearable period, Sir, Mr. Baiross, came into our lives as a true blessing. He brought confidence, clarity, and hope at a time when we had none. Mr. Baiross sir handled the case with exceptional legal expertise, deep compassion, and unwavering commitment. He listened to every detail, understood our pain, and guided us at every step with patience and care. His dedication and the support of his entire team gave us the strength to move forward. Because of Mr. Baiross sir and his team, my husband returned home safely and our family finally regained peace after months of turmoil. We will remain forever grateful to him and his dedicated team for standing by us and fighting for justice during the darkest chapter of our lives.

To the team at IRB Law, and especially to Kulvinder Kaur, Partner IRB Law LLP I am writing this note to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude for the outstanding legal support and personal guidance I received during one of the most challenging periods of my life. When I was feeling lost and vulnerable navigating my divorce and PPO case, I am so glad I found your firm. From the very beginning, Kulvin, your professionalism and compassion stood out. The free initial consultation you provided was a testament to your commitment to helping people, and after meeting several other senior lawyers, I knew that choosing you was the right decision. I am so happy I trusted my instincts. Kulvin, you are a truly exceptional lawyer. As a senior lawyer, your experience was evident in every step you took. You didn't just represent me; you guided me. You were there for me throughout the entire process, patiently explaining what to expect and meticulously preparing me for every hearing. Your guidance gave me the strength and confidence I needed to keep going. I honestly believe that if you had not been by my side, I would not have been able to achieve such a successful outcome in both my divorce and PPO case. Your expertise was the key to winning, but it was your support that kept me standing. I cannot thank you enough. I highly recommend Kulvin and IRB Law to anyone who finds themselves in a similar difficult situation and needs someone to not only represent them with excellence but also to guide and support them with genuine care. Thank you for everything. With deepest appreciation, Kind Regards Monika Bakshi

I had contacted IRB Law Mountbatten for Grant of Probate application. Mr Andrew Wong was assigned to me. All matters were clearly explained to me. I was able to make appointments convenient to me.

What Are the Legal Grounds for Divorce in Singapore?
There is one legal ground for divorce, where the marriage has irretrievably broken down. This means

  • Adultery
    Your spouse has committed adultery, and you find it intolerable to continue living with them.
  • Unreasonable Behaviour
    Your spouse has behaved in a way that makes it unreasonable for you to live together — for example, emotional abuse, neglect, or erratic behaviour.
  • Desertion
    Your spouse has abandoned you against your will for at least 2 continuous years with no intention of returning.
  • Living Apart
    You and your spouse have lived apart for: 3 years with mutual consent to divorce OR 4 years without consent
What is Custody, Care and Control?
Custody refers to the right to make major decisions about the child’s life — such as education, religion, and healthcare.
Care and control refers to which parent the child lives with on a day-to-day basis.
Access is the right of the parent who doesn’t have care and control to spend time with the child.

*In most cases, both parents share custody (called joint custody), but only one parent is given care and control, while the other is granted access.

What are the Different Kinds of Custody Orders?
  • Sole Custody – One parent has full authority to make all major decisions about the child without needing the other parent’s consent.
  • Joint Custody – Both parents must make major decisions together, even if the child lives primarily with one of them.
  • Hybrid Custody – One parent has custody, but must consult the other for specific matters (e.g., education or religion).
  • Split Custody – Rare cases where siblings are split between both parents, each with custody of different children.
What Are the Different Types of Access?
  • Reasonable Access – Flexible, based on mutual agreement between parents.
  • Fixed Access – Structured schedule (e.g., weekends, holidays, birthdays).
  • Supervised Access – Required when the court feels a third party should be present for the child’s safety.
  • No Access – Ordered in rare cases where contact may harm the child’s well-being.
How Do the Courts Decide on Custody Arrangements?

The child’s welfare is the court’s top priority. The court considers:

  • The child’s needs (emotional, educational, and physical)
  • The ability of each parent to meet those needs
  • The child’s relationship with each parent
  • Any history of abuse, neglect, or family violence
  • The willingness of each parent to cooperate

*In most cases, the court encourages joint parental responsibility, unless there are compelling reasons not to.
