How do I apply to change the court date for my divorce case?
If you are representing yourself in a divorce matter heard in the FJC, you can apply to change your hearing date in one of the following ways:
Via eLitigation any of the SG Courts Service Bureau
Via email to fjc_family_registry@judiciary.gov.sg
In writing to the FJC Registry
You should seek the consent of the other party or parties to the matter before adjourning or vacating a hearing. If the other party or parties consent to your request, you will have to attach a letter to your request stating that all parties have consented to your request to adjourn or vacate the hearing.
If the consent of one or more of the other parties is not obtained, the letter should state the reasons for the other parties' objections or explain why their consent could not be obtained.
The court will notify you of the outcome of your application to adjourn or vacate the hearing. If your application is accepted, a new hearing date will be scheduled. If your application is not accepted or if you do not receive a response on the outcome of your application, you must attend court on the date as originally scheduled.
