A. Adultery Evidences
- Remaining silent about suspicions of infidelity can harm both you and your children. Hiring a Private Investigator (PI) can help confirm or dispel your concerns.
- Singaporean courts require a high standard of proof for adultery. Typically, you need either a confession from the cheating spouse or irrefutable evidence of the affair. Since confessions are rare, engaging a PI is often necessary to collect solid proof.
- If you decide to file for divorce based on irretrievable breakdown due to adultery, you must do so within 6 months of discovering the infidelity. Delaying beyond this period may imply that you have acknowledged and tolerated the cheating, which can weaken your case. Therefore, if you confirm your spouse's infidelity and choose to divorce, act quickly to file on grounds of adultery.
B. Child Custody
- When it comes to deciding child custody, the primary consideration is the welfare of the child, and whether a ruling is in the best interests of the child. Nevertheless, if the other person has had sordid affairs on multiple occasions, or they have a particularly promiscuous lifestyle that may affect his/her ability to be a good parent, it may have implications on who gets custody of the child
C. Alimony
- By hiring a Private Investigator, you can check whether your spouse are under declaring his financial wealth or assets through physical surveillance or accounting checking. This is to enable you to get a justifiable sum of alimony after the divorce
D. Family Violence
- You need to protect yourselves against family violence by collecting substantial evidences for relevant police or court purposes. Forgiving and keeping quiet are not healthy for one self being.
E. Teenager surveillance
- You might want to hire a Private Investigator so as to track your child movement outside.
