Am I Entitled to Monthly Divorce Maintenance in Singapore? Understanding Your Rights
Under Singapore law i.e. the Women’s Charter, there is an obligation to provide monthly maintenance to the spouse (Wife or incapacitated husband (as the case may be) and/or the children. This financial support is expected to continue both during and after the marriage, ensuring the well-being and stability of the family. It is important to note that the court plays a crucial role in examining the circumstances and ordering reasonable maintenance to protect the interests of the parties involved.
Understanding Divorce Maintenance in Singapore: Your Entitlements
Spousal Maintenance
Spousal maintenance is financial support that is paid by one spouse to the other during (interim maintenance) or after the marriage has ended. Spousal maintenance can be awarded for a variety of reasons, including:
- The spouse who is receiving maintenance is unable to work due to a physical or mental disability.
- The spouse who is receiving maintenance is a stay-at-home spouse who has not worked outside the home for a significant period of time.
- The spouse who is receiving maintenance has young children and needs financial support to care for them.
- The spouse who is paying maintenance has a higher income than the spouse who is receiving maintenance.
The amount of reasonable spousal maintenance that is awarded is based on a number of factors, including:
- The income and earning capacity of each spouse.
- The needs of each spouse.
- The standard of living during the marriage.
- The length of the marriage.
- The age and health of each spouse.
- The ability of each spouse to obtain employment.
- The contribution of each spouse to the marriage.
Child Maintenance
Child maintenance is financial support that is paid by one parent to the other to help support their children after the marriage has ended. Child maintenance is always awarded to children, regardless of the reason for the divorce or separation.
The amount of child maintenance that is awarded is based on a number of factors, including:
- The income and earning capacity of each parent.
- The needs of the children.
- The standard of living during the marriage.
- The length of the marriage.
- The age and health of the children.
- The ability of each parent to obtain employment.
How to Apply for Maintenance
If you are seeking spousal or child maintenance, you can apply to the Family Court for a maintenance order. Alternatively, you may apply for maintenance through our lawyers in our law firm. The court will consider all of the relevant factors listed above when making a decision about whether to award maintenance. If you are awarded maintenance, the amount of the award will be based on your needs and the ability of your spouse to pay.
Enforcing Maintenance Orders
If a spouse or parent fails to pay maintenance, the other spouse or parent can take steps to enforce the maintenance order. These steps may include:
- Garnishing the spouse or parent’s wages.
- Obtaining a court order requiring the spouse or parent to pay the maintenance.

At our law firm, we prioritize non-confrontational and constructive approaches to resolving maintenance-related matters. We understand the emotional toll and financial strain that legal battles can impose on individuals and families. Our team of skilled lawyers will guide you through the process, exploring alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or negotiation, to reach fair and amicable agreements. We aim to protect your interests while minimizing the adversarial nature of the proceedings.
Recent Judicial Pronouncements on Maintenance
- WBU v WBT [2023] SGHCF 3 by Debbie Ong JAD at [35] to [39]
“35 I am of the view that there should not be a starting point that parents bear the financial burden of child maintenance equally. While both parents have the equal parental responsibility to care and provide for their children (see s 46(1) and s 68 of the Charter), it does not necessarily follow that every component of this duty must be borne equally in numerical terms, nor is it possible to divide the parenting duties in strictly mathematical ways. Instead, the financial obligations of parents may differ depending on their means and capabilities (see UHA v UHB [2020] 3 SLR 666 at [36]). In respect of maintenance, the Court of Appeal noted in AUA v ATZ [2016] 4 SLR 674 (at [41]):
Undergirding these provisions [ie ss 68 and 69(4) of the Charter] is the principle which we would, to borrow an expression from another area of the law, call the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities: both parents are equally responsible for providing for their children, but their precise obligations may differ depending on their means and capacities (see TIT v TIU [2016] 3 SLR 1137 at [61]). The Charter clearly contemplates that parents may contribute in different ways and to different extents in the discharge of their common duty to provide for their children.
[emphasis added]
36 It would thus be undesirable to assume, as a general rule or a starting point, that the financial obligation of maintenance should be borne equally in numerical terms between the parties. Marriage entails both financial and non-financial obligations – each spouse contributes in different aspects towards the marriage, and they fulfil different roles according to their individual capabilities in ensuring the welfare of the child.
37 In AKC v AKD [2014] 3 SLR 1374, the wife relied on the case of BNH v BNI [2013] SGHC 283 for the proposition that even if one parent earns less than the other, both parents may still have to bear the children’s expenses equally. Choo Han Teck J opined that there should not be a rigid rule to the effect that the costs of maintenance of children should be equally borne by both parties; such a rule would go against the express wording of s 69(4) of the Women’s Charter which mandates that the entirety of the circumstances have to be taken into account in assessing reasonable maintenance. I agree. Choo J noted that the wife earned close to four times the husband’s annual income. Ordering a monthly maintenance of $4,500 (sought by the wife) would require the husband to fork out close to half of his income for maintenance alone. In the circumstances, Choo J ordered the husband to make a lump sum payment of $300,000 or $3,500 monthly maintenance for the two children of the marriage.
38 I add that financial capacity need not be rigidly ascertained by sole reference to income alone. Consistent with s 69(4)(b) of the Charter, the court should consider the parties’ “income, earning capacity (if any), property and other financial resources”, as well as significant liabilities and financial commitments. For instance, a party who earns no income but has substantial savings or had received substantial inheritance would well be able to afford to bear a higher burden of the maintenance obligation, if reasonable in the circumstances of the case. The court should also have regard to the assets received by parties after the division of their matrimonial assets.
39 Both parents have the equal duty to maintain the child (see s 68 of the Charter), but this does not necessarily translate to bearing an equal quantum of maintenance. Each case must turn on its own facts. Suppose, hypothetically, the quantum of a child’s reasonable expenses is $1,000. Let us say that in one scenario (“Scenario (1)”), one parent earns $10,000 while the other earns $20,000 a month. It is assumed that both parents do not have much in other financial resources. Equal apportionment will result in each parent paying $500 towards maintaining the child. This is affordable and does not place too heavy a burden on the parent who earns less (at $10,000 a month). In such a situation it would seem that both parents have the financial means to pay a maintenance sum of $500 each. While there is no starting point of equal apportionment, to order equal apportionment in such a circumstance would nevertheless be reasonable and fair, and consistent with a broad-brush approach. Let us then vary the hypothetical situation to another scenario (“Scenario (2)”). In Scenario (2), one parent earns $10,000 while the other earns $2,000. If a maintenance quantum of $1,000 is apportioned equally, the spouse who earns less (at $2,000 per month), will have to use one-quarter of his or her monthly income for such a maintenance sum. This would seem to be a significant financial burden to that spouse. In such a situation, it will seem more reasonable for the spouse earning $10,000 to bear a higher proportion of the maintenance sum.”
Case Study 1: Successfully Resolving Maintenance Matters through Mediation
In a recent case, “Ms. M” sought our assistance in determining the appropriate amount of monthly maintenance. Through mediation, we facilitated open and respectful communication between “Ms. M” and her former spouse, allowing them to jointly determine a maintenance arrangement that met their needs and the best interests of their children. By opting for mediation, “Ms. M” avoided a lengthy and costly court battle and achieved a satisfactory resolution.
Case Study 2: Ensuring Fair Maintenance for the Dependent Spouse
“Mr. L” approached our firm seeking assistance in determining a fair amount of monthly maintenance for his wife, who had been financially dependent throughout the marriage. Our skilled lawyers meticulously assessed the financial needs of the dependent spouse, taking into account her living expenses and ongoing commitments. With a focus on fairness and ensuring a stable post-divorce life for the dependent spouse, we successfully negotiated a maintenance agreement that addressed her financial needs and provided her with a sense of security.
Case Study 3: Securing Adequate Support for the Children
In a case involving “Mrs. S,” the primary concern was securing adequate maintenance for the children. Our team worked closely with “Mrs. S” to assess the children’s financial needs, considering educational expenses, healthcare costs, and extracurricular activities. Recognizing the importance of maintaining the children’s standard of living, we pursued a fair and reasonable maintenance arrangement that provided for their well-being. Through negotiation and the court’s intervention, we secured a maintenance order that ensured the children’s continued financial stability.
Case Study 4: Advocating for Maintenance for an Incapacitated Husband
“Ms. D” sought our assistance in a unique case where her husband had become incapacitated and was unable to work or support himself financially. We understood the challenging circumstances and the importance of ensuring the husband’s well-being. With empathy and a comprehensive understanding of the law, our lawyers guided “Ms. D” through the legal process, advocating for a maintenance arrangement that would provide for her husband’s medical needs and living expenses.
These case studies exemplify our commitment to securing fair and reasonable maintenance arrangements, whether for dependent spouses, children, or individuals facing unique circumstances. We leverage our expertise and experience to navigate the complexities of maintenance matters, ensuring the best possible outcome for our clients.
The Role of the Court: Ordering Reasonable Maintenance
While non-confrontational methods are encouraged, the court plays a vital role in cases where amicable resolutions cannot be reached. The court’s responsibility is to carefully examine the circumstances and order reasonable maintenance to ensure the well-being of the wife, children, or an incapacitated husband, in accordance with Singapore law. Our experienced litigators will passionately advocate for your rights and interests in court, presenting a compelling case supported by meticulous preparation.

My sincere thanks to Mr Baiross for genuinely listening to my issue and willing to provide honest feedback and clarification
I had a great experience having IRB Law to assist my sons in the inheritance matters . Mr Baiross and the teams assist me throughout the journey til everything goes smoothly . Mr Fadil too was very patient in addressing my concerns . He help me with all the doubts and explain well . Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the excellent support and service. From my first meeting with Baiross to the continued support and advice by Crystal over a 12 month period and to achieve a excellent result I would recommend IRB Law and Crystal to anyone looking for a legal advisory and support 🙏🏼👍🙏🏼
I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Mohamed Baiross and his law firm. At a time when we were feeling extremely helpless and urgently needed assistance, he was willing to step in and offer help, even during the weekend. His entire team was also incredibly cooperative and supportive throughout the process, making everything much smoother and reassuring. This clearly shows that his firm is not just about business, but is genuinely committed to helping people in need. It gave us comfort and hope at a very critical moment, and we are truly grateful for their sincerity, dedication, and teamwork. Thanks you🙏🏻
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr Baiross, Mr Basheer and Team IRB who handled my case with a positive outcome that was beyond my expectations. Mr Baiross and Mr Basheer provided me with detailed sound legal analysis, offered the available options, recommended the actions I needed to take to strengthen my case and strategized the approach taken. They were always patient in explaining the legal jargons to me so that I can make informed decisions. IRB's charges were also highly competitive and they often graciously go the extra mile. IRB indeed lives up to be a Singapore's Best Law Firm, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal advice.
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.
I had an excellent experience with IRB Law LLP, particularly with Mr. Baiross, Ms. Sharifah, and their team. From the very beginning, the communication and process were incredibly swift—setting up a meeting with the lawyers was seamless.

Their guidance gave me confidence and clarity during a challenging time. I am truly thankful and grateful for their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.
The lawyers Mr Baiross and Ms Simran have help me with a criminal charge case. My maximum sentence was 4 years and it drop to 3 months and it drop even further to just 10 days. My case was ongoing for 10 months plus and I'm glad that it is finally over now 😊👍

Testimonials
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 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.
Mr Andrew Wong from the IRB LAW Mountbatten Office was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in providing legal advice. He explained everything clearly and made the process smooth and stress-free. Truly appreciate his professionalism and expertise!

They were also very prompt in responding to our questions/requests. Thank you to Andrew Wong & his team at IRB LAW LLP for making a potentially stressful process smooth and reassuring.

We recently had a great experience working with Andrew Wong. My family engaged him for will writing and conveyancing services, and he handled everything with great expertise. The process was seamless, and I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone in need of will drafting or conveyancing assistance.
About 1.5 years ago, after a long and difficult divorce process, I decided to engage Ms. Kulvinder Kaur as my lawyer due to dissatisfaction with my previous one. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Kaur. With Ms Kaur as your lawyer you know that you have the best possible representation in court. She is very responsive, provides valuable advice, and has deep expertise in family law.
Words are not enough to express my gratitude for Kulvinder Kaur and her team, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. They took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout. Their attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best outcome truly set them apart. I was impressed by their responsiveness—they were always available to answer my questions and address any concerns promptly. The level of personal attention I received made me feel like a valued client, not just another case. Would highly recommend!
