Areas of Specialisation
Divorce – Under Singapore Law, a divorce is the legal procedure of terminating a marriage. Divorce often involves dealing with matrimonial issues such as the custody of the children, maintenance, and division of assets.
Annulments – An annulment declares that a marriage never technically occurred and was never valid. If the initiating party can show that he or she has the legal grounds to do so, the marriage will be declared null and void by the Family Court, reverting the parties to single status.
Maintenance – Maintenance is a form of financial assistance. Once divorce procedures have commenced, an application for maintenance can be filed under Section 113 of the Women’s Charter.
Deed of Separation – A deed of separation is a private agreement between husband and wife stating the various terms and conditions of the separation. This document can assist couples in deciding on the most crucial aspects of living apart before dissolving their marriage, such as child custody and asset division, as well as avoiding disputes in court.
Prenuptial Agreements – A prenuptial agreement is an agreement that a couple enters into before getting married and which documents their respective positions in the event of a divorce. A prenuptial agreement may also include specific terms governing the marriage or the couple’s rights and obligations during the marriage in some situations.
Custody / Care and Control – Custody, Care and Control to children form part of the ancillary matters to be decided after an interim judgment of divorce has been granted. Ultimately, the Family Court will have regard to the wishes of the parents, and the wishes of the child, or children.
Adoption – Under the Adoption of Child Act, married couples can adopt a child. Where birth parents are unable or unwilling to care for their children, adoption helps these children find a lifelong family to care for and nurture them.
Personal Protection Order – A Personal Protection Order (“PPO”) is an order restraining someone from using violence against a family member. If the perpetrator breaches the order and harms the victim again, a police report must be made.

At that time when we were feeling extremely helpless, Mr Mohamed Baiross was willing to help and has given his views on our issue. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. Mohamed Baiross and his team at IRB Law Firm, particularly Ms. Sharifah Nabilah, for their outstanding representation in our case. Her efficiency, dedication, and professionalism were evident throughout the process. Ms. Sharifah's confidence and assurance in court during cross-examination were impressive, and her ownership of the case led to a successful outcome. I highly recommend IRB Law Firm and Ms. Sharifah Nabilah for their exceptional legal services.

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.
Deed poll was done smoothly and fast. The staff helped me to settle all of the necessary documents needed for it to be executed. Mr Baiross was the witnessing lawyer during the signature of the deed poll. Everything was done quickly and I'm happy to get my name updated.
