Divorce and child support in Singapore: costs and what to prepare

Updated 4 November 2026

An uncontested divorce in Singapore generally costs about S$1,500–3,500, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Contested cases, child support and property division are quoted per job, so the quickest way to a figure for your case is a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Prices are quoted per job. The main factors are:

• what documents and steps you need, and what you already have
• whether the divorce is agreed or contested
• children, and any child support or maintenance claim
• property, and how much of it is shared
• where the other party is living
• the stage the case has reached
• whether you need to attend in person
• your city
• your budget

Maintenance and child support

Singapore's Family Courts take applications for a fresh maintenance order for a spouse, a child or an incapacitated husband. If you are still married but separated and proceedings have not started, interim child support orders can be applied for. Keep records of what you pay for the children, as a lawyer will ask for them early.

Property and the legal route

Official guidance lists cases with matrimonial assets above S$5 million in gross value among those with special features, so a larger estate needs a more careful quote. A free government self-help tool called Divorce AIDE (Assets Informative Division Estimator) shows how assets may be split before you meet a lawyer. Uncontested divorces are generally more straightforward than contested ones, where the spouses do not agree.

Timing and season

Singapore is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer, so the weather does not change when a case should move forward. The stage of your case decides the timing. An interim maintenance application can come before the divorce, and an uncontested divorce is simpler when both spouses agree on the children and property before the first meeting.

How to ask for a quote

Many lawyers quote an uncontested divorce as a fixed fee with the fee structure set out upfront, while contested work is priced by the job. Say which city you are in (Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio), whether you can attend in person or prefer a video meeting, and your budget. Tell the lawyer whether the other party agrees and where they are living.
