For more information on the Family and Matrimonial Law Practice Group, please contact Foo Siew Fong at siewfong@harryelias.com.sg.

We have one of the largest Family and Matrimonial Law practice in Singapore in terms of number of briefs and lawyers. The group was nominated as one of the best Family Law Practice Groups by Asian Legal Business in 2002.

Our team of specialized and dedicated family and matrimonial lawyers has an extensive and varied experience in advising and managing divorces, custody disputes, complex asset tracing, division of matrimonial assets and maintenance issues.

In 2002, we filed the most number of discovery applications in the Family Court. We are also one of the few firms that leverage on technology by using the video conferencing system linked with the Family Court to conduct our Status Conferences/Pre-Trial Conferences to minimize costs for clients and to ensure efficiency.

Every client is given specialized and individual attention by a team of dedicated lawyers headed by a Partner and supported by experienced legal associates, paralegals and secretaries. The client’s legal interest is paramount.

With our long experience in matrimonial practice, we fully understand and appreciate that in matrimonial proceedings, the experience clients undergo can be emotionally painful, spiritually draining, mentally exhausting and financially burdensome. As such, we firmly believe that discretion and confidentiality is of the utmost importance.

In line with our firm’s multi-disciplinary practice, we are able to leverage on the capabilities of various other practice groups within the firm in order to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients. The Practice Group also has extensive contacts with external eminent consultants in the field of discreet fact finding private investigation, expert psychiatric and counseling consultation, and accounting and valuation consultants. Two of our lawyers presently serve on the Family Law Sub-Committee of the Law Society of Singapore and regularly give feedback and direction on issues relating to family law practice in Singapore.
