The exception for the divorce

The conditions apply for the three year resident factor and the expectation:

The requirement of the parties to be in Singapore for at least three years together is to make the couples believe that marriage could be saved due to such a stay and no rush is incurred in the decision made by both. There are however exceptions to this rule. However, the same has to be proved by the applicant in the event of filing the divorce. Usually, the three year phase is stringent aspect that needs to be followed by the parties or either of them in order to file the divorce. This is to show that the concerned person or the parties have been the resident in the country for the said amount of time.

In the case where the spouse gives an application that there is a lot of hard effort put in by him or her that has led to only issues resulting in divorce. The difficulties that are faced by the concerned party would be the proof that she or he wants the divorce even if the three year ‘collaboration’ is not fulfilled. Here, the court would decide on whether the application is accepted based on the circumstances and it happens only in the exceptional cases.

The causes that are needed to be proved in front of the court should have harmed any of the parties to the divorce and the same should have been done by the other with the intention to hurt the relationship. This would include the extra-marital affair that the spouse or the wife has with another person. The relation that is based on immense requirement of closeness is proved to be not persisting between the couple for some reason, leading to the exceptional factor of divorce within the three year stay with the spouse or wife accordingly.
