August 15th, 2018 | Children and Young People, Events, Family and Divorce, News
Are you going through a divorce or contemplating one? Perhaps you’re getting about to enter into a marriage and are unsure about laws that would apply to you as a married person? In this two-part series, Associate Professor Ruby Lee Yen Kee and students from NUS Law Pro Bono Society will be discussing the laws surrounding both marriage and divorce in Singapore.
Learn about the maintenance act, personal protection orders, legal obligations towards children, and division of matrimonial property and care and control of children. This talk is important for anyone contemplating signing the dotted line for a marriage or divorce. There will also be a Q&A segment where you can ask all your burning questions!
26 September, 7pm – Division of matrimonial property and care and control of children.
Both sessions will be held at the AWARE Centre (5 Dover Crescent #01-22). Snacks will be provided!
