2. It is Private and Confidential
Even though you divorce papers are filed in the family court of Singapore it is not necessary
to put all agreements on record as parties may be flexible on their agreed terms. Should
conflict arise down the track, parties have the right to engage the court process for rulings.
It Lowers Costs and Expenses
Since the divorce is resolved in private, and without the need of a lawyer, divorcing couples
bargain with one another to settle affairs, without the aid of a divorce lawyer. It will require
open communication between spouses, in order to avoid engaging the services of a
mediator, saving them money and stress. The expense of a mediator is below of that of a
divorce lawyer..
It is Faster and Quicker
Uncontested divorce demonstrates that divorcing spouses value their own dignity and that of
their loved ones. Terms are settled, their marriage is dissolved and they get on with their new
lives. The divorce is faster, as there is no need to wait to be scheduled for a court
appearance.
It Lessens Hard Feelings
Fighting between couples is terminated and the marriage is simply ended. The intervention
of lawyers is eliminated and encourages healing and forgiveness in the family unit
(something that a lawyer is not trained to do). The uncontested divorce encourages couples
to take time and talk with one another. Open communication will lessen the impact of a
divorce on the family`s loved ones.
