How do you get a divorce in Singapore?

You can get a divorce in Singapore if either you or your spouse:

• are a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident of Singapore; or
• have lived in Singapore for at least three years before you apply for a divorce.

Next, you must prove that the marriage has irretrievably broken down. This is the only legal ground for divorce.

There are a few ways of showing that your marriage had irretrievably broken down. The Women’s Charter states that you can prove that your marriage has irretrievably broken down in any of the 5 ways:

1. Adultery:  The Defendant has committed adultery and the Plaintiff finds it intolerable to live with the Defendant.
2. Unreasonable behaviour: The Defendant has behaved in such a way that the Plaintiff cannot reasonably be expected to live with the Defendant
3. Desertion: The Defendant has deserted the Plaintiff for at least 2 years
4. Separation: The parties have separated for at least 3 years (and the Defendant consents to the divorce) or 4 years (consent not required).
