25 May 2021: Navigating the civil divorce process in Singapore
May 10th, 2021 | Events, Family and Divorce, News
The decision to divorce is not an easy one. Often, it can be difficult to maintain a clear direction throughout the proceedings while managing your own emotions.
This webinar will cover some practical solutions and resources that women can use to navigate the legal proceedings with more ease.
Our speaker, Lim Shu Yi, will discuss making use of certain materials, including the forms, checklists and brochures available on the Family Justice Courts’ website, to help guide expectations before and during divorce proceedings. She will also explain how the Family Justice Courts and the family justice community can engender a shift in mindsets so that the resolution of family disputes need not be adversarial in nature – through a renewed vision of family justice, informed by principles of therapeutic justice.
You should attend if you are:
- A Singaporean/PR/migrant spouse contemplating or undergoing civil divorce
- A social service professional
- Interested in learning about the divorce process and supporting your own family and friends
