If I divorce my husband will I have to provide for our 2 children alone?

My husband is having an affair. He is the only one working in our family. If I file for a divorce, does it mean I will have to provide for my 2 children alone?

    I think the Singapore marital law entitles the woman to ask for custody, care and control of the children in the case of a divorce. It is irrelevant if she has no income. The court can order a man to pay maintenance of his wife upon divorce, separation or annulment of marriage. The court can also order division of matrimonial assets even if the woman did not contribute to it. In summary, if you do decide to file for divorce, then you won't need to provide for your children alone as it will still be a shared responsibility.

Sign up for CreditAble in order to cash your credit line using the Maybank CreditAble Term Loan

Maybank does not exactly offer a proper personal loan in itself but its term loan is linked to its personal credit line product. You just need to sign up for CreditAble in order to cash your credit line using the Maybank CreditAble Term Loan but note the terms & conditions and annual fee however. In my personal opinion, the loan amount is small while the interest is high, so it may be best to avoid this one.

A great contender for the 7-year personal loans provider

This card is a great contender for the 7-year personal loans lead yet is the relative newcomer on the block. This does not stop them from being very aggressive in Singapore these past few years. Although Bank of China $martLoan’s interest rates are on the high side, Bank of China is generally more lenient than most other banks in Singapore and have a lower minimum annual income.
