Divorced getting common?

[Miss.Molly]

Aunt is divorced, her 2 kids also divorced....

peeps i've known since kids married also divorced liao growing number also

Pls don't spread fake news since @jack-320 says divorces are "rare", and claims divorce stats are published "without proof" (basically he means the Dept of Stats staff have been reporting false numbers over the years. How this can happen without anybody else being the wiser, we need to ask him).

You only hear his side story. You never know his wife side story. Not for you to judge whether he get the fair treatment. Noone will say ownself done something wrong.

 

[Miss.Molly]

Uhhh
No evidence

Basically the Family courts if they actually do it , can record down for each divorce , is it man cheat or woman cheat or both

If they do it , it's more or less the definitive version

All these info are collated and reported by the Dept of Stats.

Not sure it is

They can say divorce but you need to break it down to see reason for divorce
Bonus point is when individual cases reveal infidelity but not in the application for divorce

adultery has no impact on asset split or custody

Yes, the adulterous defendant does not get automatically get penalised or punished by the Court when issues of division of assets, maintenance and child custody are being considered.

Adultery is not a crime in Singapore. Neither the third party nor the Defendant would be punished with a jail sentence or be fined.

The law in Singapore protects the women who always perceived to be the vulnerable being in the universe. Do not talk about equality between sexes, it is a joke of the century. It will never be on par.

Well, we cannot just believe just one side of the story.
Just know that divorce is never pleasant to either side… and also to the children.
Must have lots of bitterness
Even with 50% of the property and children still young, there are lots of changes to be made to their living arrangement etc. Effectively it’s a downgrade, isn't it?

Life is a process and transient. Nothing belongs to self forever, even one's body.

Whatever experience will be dust eventually.

Take care and enjoy and meet one's last day.

Human are not meant to be monogamous

Yes i believe is very common now days. Many young couples have alot of commitment before their marriage. But after marriage starts to have lost job situation, financial issues and many more problems so just divorce and sell away the flat to move back to their own parents place.

Nowadays children are more open minded due to their more exposure, especially online social media
So dont think it'll affect them much.

Ouch !!! The wife cheated and still get 50%
Really time to review the WC

Normal. Local is bias toward (as in disadvantage) men one.

Worse is if the kids still young, gullible, the ex may everyday poison the kids mind to make it sound like its the guy fault. Maybe to avoid own guilt. Thus distort the kids mind and sour any decent relationship the guy hope to have with the children.

Hur cheated wife can get 50%? Your friend no contest ? My friend too kids go to wife but all $ stay with him .

Contest? Cheating only gives you a legitimate reason to divorce. It doesn't affect the asset division. Marital law in sg is very outdated.

Bias against, not bias towards.

Thr courts don't take into account the reason for divorce when deciding alimony to wife

 

[CaptchaCheebeh]

[SayPorkGuy]

charboh cheat, men at fault. men cheat, still men's fault. bobian, got testosterone is like that one. only long lasting marriage is rich ask guy marriage to commoner charboh or equally high ses one. so charboh look for high ses guys is a clever move. only low ses guys cheat, esp when they have $$$ later in life.

 

[mynickname]

There is no way that PAP dare to make any amendments to woman's charter.

Fact is 50% of voters are woman. Period.
