Singapore has introduced a new way for couples to end their marriage: the no-fault divorce based on “Divorce by Mutual Agreement.” This option allows both parties to jointly agree that their marriage has irretrievably broken down, without the need to assign blame or prove fault.
Key Features of No-Fault Divorce
The no-fault divorce process emphasizes a collaborative and amicable approach. Both spouses share responsibility for the decision to end the marriage, which can lead to a more peaceful separation. Unlike traditional divorce routes, this new option eliminates the requirement for couples to live separately for a specific period before filing for divorce.
