The Family Court awarded the mother sole custody and care of three children after finding serious past physical abuse by the father, and ordered psychological assessment before any resumed access.

The Family Court dismissed a father’s bid to reduce child maintenance and allowed the mother’s enforcement claim, ordering arrears paid by instalments after finding non-disclosure and no material change.
The Family Court enforced child-maintenance arrears, rejected the father’s inability-to-pay arguments, and set a repayment schedule on top of ongoing maintenance.
The court varied child care and maintenance orders after a material change in circumstances, awarding the father sole care and control while retaining joint custody.
The Family Court ordered retroactive maintenance for a wife and four children, finding the father’s voluntary resignation did not justify reduced support until his later genuine income drop.
The court awarded the mother sole care and control, set detailed access for the father, declined an injunction over preschool changes as moot, and ordered child maintenance of S$770 monthly.
The Family Court reduced a father’s child maintenance from $500 to $200 per month from 1 June 2023, and ordered payment of $18,000 arrears by instalments.
