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!

I was served by Andrew Wong at Mountbatten Square for my late father’s estate planning. The whole process was smooth, and he gave clear guidance from start to finish. I had explored a few law firms before deciding on IRB — partly because of their reasonable pricing, but more importantly because their lawyers seemed efficient and focused on getting things done. There’s a lot of emotion involved when dealing with a loved one’s passing, and family expectations can sometimes feel overwhelming. So I really appreciated that Andrew stayed objective, clear, and efficient throughout. That was exactly what I needed — someone who could handle things professionally and help me move forward.

We hired IRB to draft an agreement and handle a commercial dispute. IRB proved to be efficient, fast and responsive, including replies over the weekend and public holidays. Comparatively, our legal opponent's lawyers were slow and often cut off work at 5 pm, despite the fact that the settlement negotiation proposed by their client had a short deadline - they also claimed to be Straits Times Singapore's Best Law Firms. We had used other lawyers and notaries in the past, including hiring a well-advertised law firm to handle a fraud case, but it turned out to be disappointing because they gave poor advice and were expensive. Overall, IRB proved to be outstanding in giving speedy, concise advice and was cost-effective. Thanking Baiross, Crystal and team!

Our company recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Baiross, Ms Crystal, Mr Quek and Mr Desmond from IRB for our civil case, and we cannot recommend IRB team highly enough. From the moment we walked into their office, we felt welcomed and understood. The team took the time to listen to our concerns and explain the legal process in a way that was easy to comprehend. Their expertise in civil law is evident; IRB guided us through every step with professionalism and care. IRB team was always quick to respond to our emails and calls, making us feel like a priority throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and we appreciated how they prepared for each meeting with comprehensive notes and strategies. One of the aspects we were most impressed with was their negotiation skills. They were able to secure a favorable settlement that exceeded our expectations. It was clear that they had our best interests at heart, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. The fees were transparent, and there were no hidden costs, which we greatly appreciated. IRB provided a clear breakdown of their charges from the outset, and we felt that their rates were reasonable for the level of service provided. Overall, we are extremely satisfied with the outcome of our case and grateful to have had Mr. Baiross by our side. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated team of lawyers, look no further than IRB Law.

Expressing my sincerest gratitude for the excellent legal support and professionalism provided by Sharifah Nabilah throughout our case. Nabilah joined our team later but at a crucial point. She was so committed to our case and got herself up to speed in no time. I enjoyed having her on my team and working with her, making my entire case ordeal that much more bearable. Her legal arguments and writing are cogent - she is definitely born to be a lawyer, as I always tell her. Such a blessing to have met her and to have had her fight our case for us. Also a special mention to Mr Baiross, without whom none of this would be possible. He is such a compassionate lawyer, and always reminded us that all of this is a test from God, and to be patient. It kept us grounded and gave us strength to go through this ordeal. Well, thanks to the awesome team at IRB, we won our case and got a rather favourable outcome. Very thankful and would recommend to anyone in need of expert legal counsel.

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.
