Lawyer Fees & Cost Of Divorce In Singapore
Divorce can be a costly and stressful process in Singapore. Some contentious and contested Divorce cases in Singapore can cost a fortune, so it’s important to make sure you’re getting the best representation during your Divorce proceedings.
Our lawyer fees for Divorce in Singapore depend on the scope and amount of work involved – this is something that we always discuss and agree on with you before we start work.

Lawyer Fees For Divorce In Singapore Can Be Affordable
In some cases, the legal fees are considerably lower. However, the total cost will vary depending on the circumstances surrounding the Divorce. Higher fees may be required for contested Divorces, primarily if the parties disagree on many issues, including child custody. If so, the attorney would spend more time preparing the arguments and evidence for his client’s case.
At Tembusu Law, the fees we charge are all-inclusive. There will be no hidden setup fees or other additional fees.
Breakdown On Lawyer Fees For Divorce In Singapore
Tembusu Law firm offers services in both contested Divorce and Uncontested Divorce cases.
The standard lawyer commitment for a divorce in Singapore fluctuates based on your particular situation. As a broad benchmark, one might need to allocate a modest to a substantial amount of resources for an uncontested Divorce, particularly when both parties are in consensus on all conditions, eliminating the necessity for negotiations.
At times, a more significant commitment may be required, encompassing cases involving matrimonial property, children, and maintenance. This level of involvement may also be necessary if there’s still some negotiation needed in the case or if one party doesn’t agree with all the terms of the Divorce.

How To Choose A Divorce Lawyer In Singapore
Choosing the right lawyer can make all the difference between a confusing, stressful legal battle and a smooth, confident journey through the Court system. Here’s what to look for and why it matters.

Relevant Experience in Family Law & Divorce Cases
Not all lawyers are equally equipped to handle sensitive family issues. Choose a lawyer who focuses on Divorce and Family Law, someone with a proven track record in handling custody disputes, asset division, and maintenance matters.

Clear Communication and Compassion
You deserve a lawyer who listens to you, explains your options in plain English, and keeps you informed at every step. Divorce is more than a legal event, it’s an emotional turning point. A good lawyer helps you feel supported, not judged.

Transparent, Predictable Pricing
Many clients worry about hidden fees and legal bills that spiral out of control. Look for law firms that offer fixed-fee packages or transparent billing structures. We’re upfront about all costs and your first consultation is completely free.

Strategic Thinking & Tailored Solutions
No two families are alike. Your lawyer should be able to think strategically about your unique circumstances, whether that means securing custody, protecting your assets, or de-escalating conflict through mediation.

Positive Client Testimonials and Professional Credibility
Reputation matters. Check online reviews, testimonials, and case outcomes. A firm trusted by real people, not just one that talks a good game, gives you the confidence to proceed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce And Family Lawyers in Singapore
What Does Family Law Cover?
Family law is the overall general term covering matrimonial law and law relating to familial relationships in situations such as marriage, Divorce, child custody, spousal and child maintenance, division of matrimonial assets, adoption and domestic violence.
As Family Law cases invariably involve making difficult decisions that affect children and loved ones as well as participating in emotionally charged communications between parties, engaging the services and support of the best Family Lawyer in Singapore can help you stay focused and provide you with an objective view of your case at all times.
What Is The Divorce Process In Singapore?
In Singapore, the divorce process involves two stages. This applies to both contested and uncontested divorces.
The first stage refers to the dissolution of marriage, in which the Family Justice Courts discuss and decide whether the marriage has irretrievably broken down. Should the Courts be convinced that the marriage has indeed broken down, it will grant an Interim Judgement of Divorce. This officially ends the marriage between the two parties.
In the second stage, the Court deals with ancillary matters pertaining to child custody, maintenance and matrimonial assets. Once all ancillary matters are settled, the Courts will grant a Certificate of Final Judgement, which can only be extracted three months from the date of the Interim Judgement.
In your first meeting with our divorce lawyer in Singapore, you will be provided with an overview of the two stages so you are well-prepared for the processes that will ensue. For more details, visit our FAQ page.

Can A Family Lawyer Help With Child Custody Issues?
When it comes to children, the Courts will make the decision around their custody, care and control and access based on what is in their best interests.

From child custody to maintenance and divorce, the best Family Lawyers can advise you on the best way forward for your case.
