Once you have declared your marital status accordingly, the LifeSG form will be adjusted such that it will not prompt you to route the form to the other parent. After you have completed your portion, the LifeSG form will be submitted to ECDA directly for processing. Please note that ECDA or HOMES may contact you for more details or supporting documents regarding your marital status.

If you have joint custody with equal care and control of your child, both you and your spouse must give consent. In other custody arrangements (such as when one parent has sole care and control, even if there is joint custody), only that parent’s consent is needed.
