Following the Singapore Government’s announcement on Circuit Breaker measures, the Syariah Court announced that they would be closed from 7 April 2020 to 1 June 2020 to limit social activity.

Despite this, we continue to have clients reaching out to us seeking solutions to resolve their marital issues.

Inevitably, the parties end up wondering if they should attempt counselling or end their marriage.

​In this article, we provide a broad overview of the Syariah Court divorce process and the steps that you and your spouse can take in the meantime.

​One would have thought that with the implementation of the circuit breaker measures, conveyancing transactions would have come to a stand-still as a lot of the procedures involved physical interactions such as the issuance of cheques and cashiers’ orders, signing of documents, and the final completion itself. However with technology and the co-operation of various parties, conveyancing transactions can proceed as scheduled.
