They had married in April 2016. An interim judgment dissolving the marriage was decreed in November 2021 based on unreasonable behaviour of the Wife. The marriage had lasted 5 years and 7 months.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_2"></a>2 There are 2 children of the marriage. It is agreed that the parties share joint custody of the children. The outstanding issues for me to decide on are the care, control, access and maintenance of the children, the maintenance of the Wife, as well as the division of property between the parties.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-1">THE CHILDREN</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Background</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_3"></a>3 In this section, I shall refer to the Husband as “the Father” and to the Wife as “the Mother”.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_4"></a>4 There are 2 children. The 1<sup>st</sup> child is 7 years old, and the second is 5 years old. They are both boys.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_5"></a>5 The parties agree to having joint custody of both children. The issue is who shall care and control the children.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_6"></a>6 The Father claims to be the primary caregiver of the children. He is a taxi driver. He fetches them from childcare/school every day, prepares meals for them, eats with them, gives them showers and goes through their schoolwork or play with them. He brings the children out on weekends when he does not work. He brings them for medical treatments and attends meetings with teachers especially regarding one of the children’s speech delay and autism. He handles the administrative matters with the school. The Father alleges that the Mother had committed violence against the children, but his application for a personal protection order on their behalf was dismissed by this Court. The Father also argues that the Mother is likely to return to Vietnam and take the children with her.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_7"></a>7 The Mother claims that she is the primary caregiver of the children. She also claims to prepare the children and sends them to childcare. She discusses with their teachers. In the evenings after work she spends time with the children and puts them to bed. She claims that the Father is not interested in the children. The Mother also applied for a personal protection order against the Father, but her complaint was also dismissed by this Court.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_8"></a>8 I heard counsel for the parties, and I ordered for a child custody evaluation to be conducted. I have now received the report of the evaluators and consider it together with the other evidence already placed before me in the parties’ affidavits. Because many of the interviews conducted during the custody evaluation took place under a promise and expectation of non-disclosure, I will not make specific references of the contents of the report.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_9"></a>9 Based on the report and the evidence before me, I arrive at the following findings:</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_9-p2_1"></a>1. Both parents are involved in the caregiving of the children. They both love the children and are familiar with their temperaments and needs.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_9-p2_2"></a>2. The 1<sup>st</sup> child is diagnosed with autism since he was 3 years old. His autism is mild, and he is coping well academically. The 2<sup>nd</sup> child appears to have no special needs.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_9-p2_3"></a>3. The children had expressed to the evaluator that they wish to live with the Mother. However, this attachment between them and the Mother is a result of their triangulation, and that they were simply reflecting the Mother’s emotional needs. They are parentified in this regard. If they are placed in the Mother’s care, it is likely that the parentification will become more entrenched and their development affected.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_9-p2_4"></a>4. On the other hand, the children do have a healthy attachment to the Father. The Father’s parenting is firm, but also warm. He is observed to be able to set boundaries and regular routines for the children and managing their behaviours whereas the Mother has difficulties doing so.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_9-p2_5"></a>5. The Father already has a fully paid-up home to accommodate the children, whereas the Mother’s accommodation is uncertain, since she rents a bedroom in a 4-room flat.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Conclusion</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_10"></a>10 I find that there is no reason to not order the parents to have joint custody of the children. In any case, they have agreed to this. Both parents have the best interest of the children at heart, and I believe that they will co-parent effectively.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_11"></a>11 I find that it will be in the welfare of the children that they be in the care and control of the Father.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_12"></a>12 The children must have access with the Mother. There is no evidence to show that it would be against their welfare to have access with the Mother. I shall adopt an access arrangement recommended by the evaluator, as I find that it is fair and workable.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_13"></a>13 The Mother requests that the Father not know her address claiming that she fears he will harass her there. Parents who share joint custody of children, in order to exercise their parental responsibilities, must at least be aware of the children’s whereabouts when the children are with the other parent. The accusations of family violence have been dismissed. I find that there is no more basis to prevent the Father from knowing the Mother’s address because that is where the children will be residing at during access.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_14"></a>14 I therefore conclude that it is in the welfare of the children to order as follows:</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_14-p2_1"></a>1. By consent, both parents shall have joint custody of the children.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_14-p2_2"></a>2. The children shall be in the care and control of the Father.</p> <p class="Judg-2"><a id="p1_14-p2_3"></a>3. The Father shall provide the children with access to the Mother as follows:</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_a"></a>a. On weekends alternating between the following:</p> <p class="Judg-4"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_a-p4_A"></a>(A) First weekend: Friday after school to Monday morning. The Mother will collect the children from their schools on Friday and she shall send the children to school on Monday; and</p> <p class="Judg-4"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_a-p4_B"></a>(B) Other weekend: Friday after school to Saturday evening at 8pm, when the Father shall collect the children.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_b"></a>b. During school holidays, every Friday from 5pm on Friday to Saturday 9pm, when the Father shall collect the children.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_c"></a>c. Every Wednesday after school until 8:30pm. The Mother shall collect the children from school and shall return them to the Father by 8:30pm.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_d"></a>d. The children shall also have access to the Mother via electronic means during non-access periods, and the Father shall have access to the children via electronic means during access periods.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_e"></a>e. The children shall have access with the Mother during the first half of school vacations. The Mother shall collect the children from school at the start of the school vacation and the Father shall collect them on the second Saturday at 9pm.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_f"></a>f. For Chinese New Year, the children shall be with the Father on the first day, and the children shall have access with the Mother on the second day from 9am to 6pm.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_g"></a>g. For public holidays other than Chinese New Year, the children shall have access with the Mother on alternate public holidays from 9am to 6pm.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_h"></a>h. The parents shall not comment about each other in the children’s presence.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_i"></a>i. Neither the Father nor the Mother shall by himself/herself, his/her agents or his/her servants, bring the children, out of Singapore without the prior written consent of the other or an Order of Court.</p> <p class="Judg-3"><a id="p1_14-p2_3-p3_j"></a>j. Both parents and the children shall attend counselling at FAM@FSC as well as the Children-in-Between Programme.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-1">Maintenance of the children </p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Background</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_15"></a>15 On maintenance for the children, the Father seeks the Mother to pay $778.80 a month. The Father says that the children’s monthly expenses are $1,180.00. He argues that the Mother ought to bear 66%, or $778.80.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_16"></a>16 The Mother says that the children’s expenses are $420.00 for each child. This does not include housing, so she asks for $600.00 a month each to cover their housing.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_17"></a>17 The children are 6 and 4 years old at the time of hearing.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Means of parents</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_18"></a>18 The Father is a taxi driver claiming to earn a take home income of $1,800.00 a month. The Mother disputes this and claims that he earns about $5,000.00 a month. She points out that the Father did not produce evidence from his taxi company to show his monthly collections.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_19"></a>19 In this regard, I find that the Father’s income tax assessment is prima facie proof that his income is $18,000.00 a year, which is $1,500.00 a month, lower than what the Father claims. I therefore accept $1,800.00 a month as the Father’s income.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_20"></a>20 The Mother is a waitress taking home $2,044.96. She pays $1,800 in rent. This leaves her disposable income at $244.96.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_21"></a>21 The total means of the parties is therefore $2,044.96 a month.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Expenses of children</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_22"></a>22 I am conscious that there is no requirement that every expense must be proved (<em>UEB v UEC</em> [2018] SGHFC 5, at paragraph 13). I instead apply a broad brush in evaluating the expenses and come to my findings on them.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_23"></a>23 I accept the evidence of the Father that the expenses of the 1<sup>st</sup> child are $750.00 a month, and the expenses of the 2<sup>nd</sup> child are $430.00 a month. I find that these are reasonable taking into account the needs of the children and the means of the parents. The total is $1,180.00.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Allocation of maintenance</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_24"></a>24 The legal position is that each parent has an equal responsibility to maintain the children it but does not mean that they have to bear equal shares of the burden (<em>BPC v BPB</em> [2019] 1 SLR 642, at paragraph 111).</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_25"></a>25 I take into account that I have ordered the care and control of the children to be with the Father.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_26"></a>26 Based on her disposable income, that the Mother’s proportionate share to contribute to the children’s maintenance is 12%.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_27"></a>27 Pursuant to the orders of access I have made above, the children will be spending a considerable amount of time with the Mother – on Wednesday evenings, and on weekends from Friday after school. During these periods, the Mother must bear the children’s expenses.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_28"></a>28 I apply a broad brush to this issue and find it to be fair and reasonable for each parent to bear all the expenses of the children when the children are with them. I therefore make no order that the Mother pay any monthly maintenance for the children to the Father.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_29"></a>29 However, I find it to be fair and reasonable to order that the Mother shall bear 12% of common expenses such as school fees, tuition fees and medical expenses.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-1">Division of assets</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_30"></a>30 Hereinafter I shall refer to the Plaintiff as “the Husband” and to the Defendant as “the Wife”.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Jointly owned asset</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_31"></a>31 There are no jointly owned assets.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">The Husband’s assets</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_32"></a>32 It is not disputed that the Husband has the following in his own name:</p> <table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="Judg-2" frame="none" pgwide="1"><colgroup><col width="11.9176164767047%"><col width="48.5902819436113%"><col width="39.4921015796841%"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">1.</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">DBS bank account</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">$784.80</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">2.</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">CPF accounts</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">$277,618.04</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1"> </p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Total</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">$278,805.56</p> </td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="left"><br clear="left"> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_33"></a>33 The Husband has a UOB savings account shares with his ex-wife containing $424.72. The Husband has a joint saving account with his daughter from his previous marriage containing $501.63. I exclude these from the asset pool as they do not fall in within the definition of matrimonial asset under section 112 (10) of the Women’s Charter, since they were not acquired during the present marriage, nor substantially improved during the marriage nor used for the purposes of the family.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_34"></a>34 The Husband has 2 CDA accounts for 2 children.

She sold her property in Vietnam which she inherited from her deceased previous husband, and used the proceeds of the sale to buy a smaller property in Vietnam. She says that she alone made the payments for the purchase. Indeed, she claims that the reason she sold the property was because she needed the funds as the Husband had ceased to give financial support for her and the children. She says that after the birth of the 2<sup>nd</sup> child the Husband stopped maintaining her and the children even though she was not yet a permanent resident and so was unable to work. She says she was in a constant state of fear and uncertainty, and there were days that she did not have enough to eat. She says that a year later the Husband threw her out of the home, and she had to sleep in a park. She says that when she begged to return, the Husband demanded that she pay him $400 a month for rent. She says that she obtained permanent residency in April 2021 which she paid for herself. She took on more than one job. With her income she was able to purchase appliances such as fans, cooking apparatus, crockery, pillows, bedsheets and daily household necessities. She claims that she is the primary caregiver of the children. She also claims to prepare the children and sends them to childcare. She discusses with their teachers. She cooks for the family. She buys groceries. In the evenings she spends time with the children and puts them to bed. She cleans the home. She claims that the Husband is not interested in the children and does not assist in the housework.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_49"></a>49 The marriage was 5 years long. There are 2 children. Both parents worked to support the family. They both made sacrifices, and at times supported each other financially. I apply a broad brush to the facts before me. I find that the indirect contributions of the parties are not equal, but 60% from the Wife.</p> <table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="Judg-2-tblr"><colgroup><col width="46.3092618523705%"><col width="26.8653730746149%"><col width="26.8253650730146%"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1"> </p> </td><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Husband</p> </td><td align="left" class="b" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Wife</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Direct contributions</p> </td><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">98.3%</p> </td><td align="left" class="b" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">1.7%</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Indirect contributions</p> </td><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">40%</p> </td><td align="left" class="b" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">60%</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="r" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Result</p> </td><td align="left" class="r" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">138.3%</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">61.7%</p> </td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="left"><br clear="left"> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Average ratio </p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_50"></a>50 The size of the matrimonial asset pool is not extraordinarily large, nor was it accrued by any one party’s exceptional effort.

I order that the Husband shall pay to the Wife the remaining amount of $97,676.46. I shall deal with this together with the issue of the Wife’s maintenance below.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-1">Maintenance of the Wife</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Background</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_54"></a>54 The Wife seeks an order of maintenance for herself in the monthly sum of $600.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_55"></a>55 As previously stated, the Wife is a waitress earning $2,044.96 a month. She pays most of that for rent.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_56"></a>56 The Husband argues that there ought to be no order of maintenance for the Wife. He argues that the Wife is relatively young and able bodies, whereas he is in the sunset of his career. He submits that the Wife has failed to make full and frank disclosure about her access to funds. He argues that the Wife rent payment is not proved.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-2">Findings</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_57"></a>57 Whether or not I ought to order the Husband to pay maintenance to the Wife is a multifactorial inquiry (<em>TNL v TNK and another appeal and another matter</em> <a class="pagecontent" href="javascript:viewPageContent('/Judgment/20026-SSP.xml')">[2017] SGCA 15</a> at [62]). It is supplementary to my order on the division of the assets (<em>ATE v ATD</em> <a class="pagecontent" href="javascript:viewPageContent('/Judgment/18402-SSP.xml')">[2016] SGCA 2</a> at [33]).</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_58"></a>58 The Wife has $1,461.90 in her bank account.

These should be sufficient provision for the Wife to transit to a post-divorce life and provides a clean break in the parties’ marital relationship.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_59"></a>59 I therefore order that the Husband to pay a lump sum of maintenance to the Wife in the sum of $97,676.46 within 6 months of the date of final judgment.</p> <p class="Judg-Heading-1">Costs</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_60"></a>60 The Wife is legally aided.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_61"></a>61 The Husband succeeded on the issues of care and control of the children, as well as the division of assets.

The first issue is about the interpretation of the terms of access. Counsel says that the term “weekends alternating between first weekend and other weekend” is confusing and requests clarification. In reply, Counsel for the Husband agrees.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_64"></a>64 I agree. In order to clarify the order, I amend it to as follows:</p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1"> <b>Custody care and control of children of the marriage</b> </p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">1. By consent, both parents shall have joint custody of the children.</p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">2. The children shall be in the care and control of the Plaintiff.</p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">3. The Plaintiff shall provide the children with access to the Defendant as follows:</p> <p class="Judg-QuoteList-2"> <u>a</u>. <u>Every weekend, alternating back and forth between the following:</u> </p> <p class="Judg-QuoteList-3">(<u>A</u>) <u>Friday after school to Monday morning.

For Chinese New Year, the children shall be with the Plaintiff on the first day, and the children shall have access with the Defendant on the second day from 9am to 6pm.</p> <p class="Judg-QuoteList-2">g. For public holidays other than Chinese New Year, the children shall have access with the Defendant on alternate public holidays from 9am to 6pm.”</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_65"></a>65 The second issue that the Wife’s Counsel requests clarification is about my order that the Husband pays to the Wife a sum of $97,676.46 as lump sum maintenance in order to reflect her share of the division of the matrimonial asset pool. The Wife’s Counsel suggests that the amount be transferred from the Husband’s CPF to the Wife instead, and that there be no order on maintenance for the Wife. The learned Counsel for the Husband concurs with this view.</p> <p class="Judg-1"><a id="p1_66"></a>66 I did not make an order to transfer from the Husband’s CPF to the Wife simply because it was not requested for by the Wife during the course of the hearing. However, since both parties are in agreement on this issue, I amend the relevant portions of my order to as follows:</p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1"> <b>Division of the matrimonial assets (aside from the matrimonial home)</b> </p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">The Defendant [hereinafter referred to as the “Spouse”] shall be entitled to $97,676.46 of the Plaintiff’s [hereinafter referred to as the “Member”] Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) monies pursuant to section 112 of the Women’s Charter.</p> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">The Board shall transfer, from the monies standing to the credit of the Member in the following CPF account(s) of the Member’s, the amount(s) specified as follows to the Spouse’s CPF account(s):</p> <table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="Judg-2-tblr" frame="all" pgwide="1"><colgroup><col width="64.26%"><col width="35.74%"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td align="left" class="br" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">The Member’s CPF account(s) to transfer from</p> </td><td align="left" class="b" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Amount to transfer</p> </td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="r" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">Ordinary Account</p> </td><td align="left" class="" rowspan="1" valign="top"> <p align="justify" class="Table-Para-1">$97,676.46</p> </td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="left"><br clear="left"> <p class="Judg-Quote-1">This Order is made subject to the Central Provident Fund Act (“CPF Act”) and the subsidiary legislation made thereunder made in respect of the Member’s CPF monies, property and investments.
