DIVORCE QUESTIONS ON YOUR MIND

If it's an uncontested divorce, we can keep it to $2500 net. We will need his full cooperation from start till the end. If it's contested, but resolved at an early stage (mediation), the costs can range between $3000 onwards. This depends on how contested it is and at what stage you and your husband come to an agreement.

For the HDB Flat, it depends on whether HDB grants you an exemption for you to sell before the 5 year mark. They go on a case by case basis.
