Do I have to pay any legal costs on seeking assistance from the Singapore Central Authority for the return of my child?
You are required to bear legal costs unless legal aid is granted. You may also have to bear other costs associated with the application of return of the child such as the cost of travel and accommodation. However, the Singapore Central Authority does not charge for any administrative costs in liaising with other authorities/agencies or in assisting with the completion of a request form.
