Document background
The Divorce Agreement Contract is a fundamental document in Singapore family law, used when spouses have agreed to terminate their marriage tHRough mutual consent or contested proceedings. This agreement must comply with Singapore's Women's Charter and Family Justice Act, requiring parties to be married for at least tHRee years or obtain special court permission. The contract comprehensively addresses asset division, maintenance obligations, child custody arrangements, and other pertinent matters. It's particularly crucial in Singapore's context where the family justice system emphasizes fair and equitable settlements while protecting children's interests. The agreement becomes effective upon court approval and serves as the binding framework for post-divorce obligations.
