Legal Grounds for Divorce 离婚的法律依据

In Singapore, for there to be a divorce, there has to be an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage. This is the sole ground of divorce. In order to show an irretrievable breakdown of the marriage, you have to prove at least one of five legally defined facts. The five facts that can be used to obtain a divorce in Singapore are as follows:

1. Adultery;

2. Unreasonable behaviour;

3. Desertion for more than 2 years;

4. Separation for more than 3 years with consent from your spouse; and

5. Separation for more than 4 years.

A sixth fact of “mutual agreement” will also be introduced sometime in the second quarter of 2023.

If you are unable to establish the ground of divorce, you are unable to proceed with a divorce.

In the next few articles, we will elaborate in detail each ground of divorce.

在新加坡，要离婚，婚姻必须“无可挽回地破裂”。这是离婚的唯一理由。为了证明婚姻的无可挽回的破裂，您必须证明五个法律定义的事实中的至少一个。可用于在新加坡离婚的五个事实如下：

• 通奸;

• 不合理的行为;

• 遗弃2年以上;

• 经配偶同意分居超过3年; 和

• 分居4年以上。

“相互协议”的第六个事实也将在 2023 年第二季度的某个时候引入。

如果您无法确定离婚理由，您将无法进行离婚。

在接下来的几篇文章中，我们将详细阐述离婚的每个理由。
