As a litigator, Sara has been involved in the following notable cases:

The Court held, for the first time, that the party who would take over the matrimonial share of the matrimonial property should solely bear the ongoing mortgage and property tax payments pending the transfer of the matrimonial property;
- VXQ v VXR [2021] SGHCF 38 – successfully obtained a favourable decision for client’s share of the matrimonial assets in a contested Ancillary Matters hearing;
- VQZ v VRA [2022] SGFC 79 – successfully obtained Interim Judgment for contested divorce proceedings. The Court held that the other party’s behaviour was unreasonable and client had met the burden required to prove the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage;
- Unreported decision (HCF/DCA 81/2020) – successfully resisted an appeal for variation of child’s care arrangements, where the Court held that the other party did not prove that there was a material change in circumstances;
- Unreported decision (HCF/DCA 29/2021) – successfully resisted an appeal for variation of maintenance, where we convinced the Court that the other party did not provide sufficient evidence of a material change in circumstances.
