Free legal advice for divorce in Singapore?

I am writing this on behalf of my sister who is divorced. She is still battling with her husband on the monetary support as she was a homemaker and dependent on her husband when she was married. The problem is with every court hearing, she needs to pay her legals fees which can cost S$10K per hearing. This case has been going on for 4 years already due to the different delay tactics which the husband uses with the hope of draining all her resources to prevent her from continuing with the case and she not getting any alimony payment. She needs to know if there is any legal recourse she can take against her ex-husband or other avenues of help on how she can continue and have final closure or judgment to decide on the alimony payments including all her expenses.Free legal advice for divorce in Singapore?
There is Legal Aid Bureau located at level 8 of the URA building at Maxwell Road. They provide legal advice.





It is unlikely that your sis is paying $10K per hearing. Courts in Singapore have very strict time line to meet. Even if your brother in law has used all kinds of ways to delay the proceedings, the court system would have detected such delay and looked into this case.





If your sis's case is still at the ancillary matter hearing stage, then after the pre trial conference, a hearing date would have probably been set down by now. Also, the court may send the case for a mediation session before a district judge before setting it down for hearing.





For a case to go on for 4 years and still pending is really unheard of in Singapore judiciary system.Free legal advice for divorce in Singapore?
I would like to comment on this case but am not sure if its still on-going or is it too late. No hoax, and entirely free. I am a retired lawyer. So if this case is still ongoing, perhaps you could drop me an email and I could share some advice. Thanks.
