Matrimonial & Family Disputes
The law does not and cannot provide for and protect any party for every contingency experienced by individuals in matters of family law, be it divorce, custody, maintenance, adoption etc. At Straits Law Practice LLC, we try to bolster this with our more senior and experienced lawyers who are well-versed in the practice of family law in Singapore - involving both civil and muslim marriages.
The conduct of cases by this practice group, whether complex or otherwise, is always with a view to achieving the most practical, costs-saving solution for the client and to pre-empt or minimize as far as possible, the difficulties incurred by the client. In particular, we are always mindful of the possible, but extremely sensitive nature of the problems faced by every one of our clients especially when litigation is on going in the Courts. No matter how simple or complex, the client's interests are always remembered.

- Adoption, Contested or Uncontested
