2024年5月，我们以客户配偶的不合理行为为由，成功与客户配偶离婚。
我们的客户想要结束婚姻，但配偶强烈拒绝这一申请。 各方进行了一整天的听证会。 听证会结束后，根据我们向法院提交的证据和论点，法院作出了有利于我们委托人的裁决。 由于配偶的不合理行为，婚姻被解除。 我们的客户对结果感到松了一口气并感到高兴。
We successfully stayed a divorce proceedings based on forum non conveniens.
IN MAY 2024
Our client, a foreigner, had relocated back to her home country in late 2023 with the children of the marriage. In early 2024, her husband, also a foreigner, working in Singapore commenced divorce proceedings in Singapore against our client. Presenting overwhelming evidence that Singapore was not the natural forum to hear the divorce, the Courts agreed with our client and stayed the Singapore divorce proceedings based on forum non conveniens. The Courts agreed with our client that her home country was the natural forum to hear the divorce.
2024 年 5 月，我们成功搁置了基于不方便法院的离婚诉讼。
我们的客户是一名外国人，于 2023 年底带着婚生子女搬回祖国。 2024 年初，她在新加坡工作的外国人丈夫在新加坡向我们的客户提起离婚诉讼。 法院提供了压倒性的证据表明新加坡不是审理离婚的自然法院，因此同意我们客户的观点，并基于不方便法院中止了新加坡离婚程序。 法院同意我们委托人的观点，即她的祖国是审理离婚的自然地点。
Our client’s spouse claimed that all of his assets (valued at around $6 million) were to be excluded from the pool of matrimonial assets for division as they were either pre-marital assets, gifts and/or inherited. Presenting overwhelming evidence that we sourced from years of emails and messages between our client and the spouse, we proved to the Court of Appeal that our client’s spouse had always intended for the assets to be shared with our client and the family. The Court of Appeal agreed with our client. In the seminal decision, the Court of Appeal held that where one of the parties to the marriage has received a gift or inheritance but evinces an intention to deal with that asset by, for example, giving it to the other party or incorporating it into the family estate, it is not inconsistent with s 112 of the Women’s Charter 1961 for the court to give effect to such intention.
We won a seminal Court of Appeal decision.
IN MARCH 2023
2023 年 3 月，我们赢得了上诉法院的一项重大裁决。
我们客户的配偶声称，他的所有资产（价值约 600 万新元）均不包括在婚姻资产池中进行分割，因为它们要么是婚前资产、礼物和/或继承的资产。 我们从客户与配偶之间多年的电子邮件和消息中获取了压倒性的证据，向上诉法院证明，客户的配偶一直打算与客户及其家人分享资产。 上诉法院同意我们客户的观点。 在这一影响深远的判决中，上诉法院认为，如果婚姻一方收到了礼物或遗产，但表明有意通过将其交给另一方或将其纳入婚姻法等方式处理该资产， 家庭财产，法院落实这一意图并不违反《1961 年妇女宪章》第 112 条。
IN MARCH 2021
We successfully obtained over $4 million of our client’s spouse’s assets to be included in the pool of matrimonial assets for division. The spouse only wanted $470,000.00 to be included.
Our client’s spouse claimed that only $470,000.00 were to be included in the pool of matrimonial assets for division as the rest of the assets were either pre-marital assets, gifts and/or inherited. Presenting overwhelming evidence that we sourced from years of emails and messages, we proved to the court that our client’s spouse had always intended for the assets to be shared with the family. In addition, we meticulously traced over 3,000 pages of bank statements to show the Courts that our client’s spouse dissipated assets right before filing of the divorce. The High Courts was convinced with our tracing exercise and added an additional $500,000.00 onto our client’s spouses assets for division. In the end, there was a fair and equitable division of the matrimonial assets.
2021年3月，我们成功将客户配偶超过400万新元的资产纳入婚姻资产池进行分割。 配偶只想要 470,000 新元。 我们客户的配偶声称，婚姻资产池中只有 470,000 美元可供分割，因为其余资产要么是婚前资产，要么是赠与和/或继承。 我们提供了从多年的电子邮件和消息中获得的压倒性证据，向法庭证明我们客户的配偶一直打算与家人分享资产。 此外，我们还仔细追踪了 3,000 多页的银行对账单，向法院证明我们客户的配偶在提出离婚之前就已经消耗了资产。 法院对我们的追踪工作表示满意，并在我们客户的配偶资产上追加了 50 万美元用于分割。 最终，夫妻财产得到了公平公正的分割。

We successfully defended our client from paying cash to his ex-wife and our client retained his precious Rolex watches.
IN JULY 2020
This was a victorious case for us as our client was low on liquidity and we convinced the Court for our client to pay his ex-wife via his CPF account.
