What divorce lawyer did you use? Would you recommend them?

I posted here before asking about general divorce advice... I think the time has come... My husband just hit me for the first time, before that it was just verbal abuse. Cannot wait any longer. I would like to hear from people who actually went through a divorce and used a local Singapore lawyer. Wh...

Thanks! Any idea though, how much they charge per hour of consultation? Want some ballpark figure before I start :?

Those 10K bills sound very outrageous to me. I delivered at NUH, had a private room at Ward 96 and a senior consultant gynae. Was a vaginal delivery without complications, but with epidural. The total bill was ~$4000, around half of it was covered by Medisave (I'm a PR). I looked at MANY hospitals b...

Several friends of mine has used Harry Elias, apparently highly recommended and specialise in this area. Last I checked, Harry Elias does mostly commercial law. But if you want to pay $500/hour...

As an expat, I looked EXTENSIVELY for a delivery hospital I like, and I changed several gynaes. So, hands down, National University Hospital (NUH) Ward 96 beat all the state and private hospitals I looked at. As for a gynae, I had both my kids with Dr Chong YS at NUH Women's Ruby Clinic and coulnd't...

A good divorce lawyer and other advice needed

I am a Singapore PR married to a citizen. We have two kids, 1 and 3. I believe a divorce will be down the road in the near future, because we do not get along well anymore, and I find my husband's behavior increasingly unreasonable. I am somewhat familiar with Singapore's divorce laws. My questions ...
