Women cheating on their husbands has been on the rise in Singapore in recent years so it\u2019s not surprising that one of the most frequently asked questions our divorce lawyers<\/a><\/strong> hear in our practice is \u201cWill cheating affect my divorce case?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Where adultery is the cause of marriage termination<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>, people have a tendency to assume that the faithful spouse holds all the advantages in the divorce proceedings. In fact, this is not correct in the majority of\u00a0cases. <\/p>\n

In this article, we look at the impact that Adultery can have on divorce proceedings<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The discovery of adultery and the emotions accompanied by it are a ticking time bomb waiting to explode at the negotiation table. In these situations, the financial costs of conflict can be significantly higher. <\/p>\n

Whilst adultery may not play a role in determining the custody of the children<\/strong><\/a> or distribution of assets, it is important that your divorce lawyer have the necessary negotiation\/mediation<\/strong><\/a> skills to avoid the emotions of a lengthy and costly courtroom battle.<\/p>\n

The Child`s Welfare Principle<\/h2>\n

When making custody-related decisions, the court holds the best interests of the child as the first and paramount consideration. <\/p>\n

The best interests of the child are measured by their moral and religious welfare, physical well-being, ties of affection, happiness, comfort and security. The courts will apply the welfare principle to the facts of the case. <\/p>\n
