What should I do if I have obtained a divorce court order overseas?


Updated by CPF
For foreign divorce court orders, please note that the court order will only have effect in Singapore if it is recognised in Singapore either through legislation in Singapore or by Singapore Courts (which would require an application to the Singapore Courts). The Board will not be bound by orders made by foreign courts.
 
You may seek the advice of a law firm in Singapore on the issue of the enforcement of a foreign Order of Court in Singapore. You can obtain a list of law firms from the Law Society of Singapore’s website.
