Understanding Child Custody Issues
This book aims to provide parents and guardians with essential information on typical child custody issues in Singapore. Drawing from my legal experience, it addresses the generally applicable laws and references decided by case authorities to provide clear illustrations and explanations.
The book is organised into various chapters to guide the reader through child custody issues with clarity. It begins by defining what constitutes a child, then delves into understanding the best interests of the child and outlining parental rights and responsibilities.
The contents should not be treated as a substitute for legal advice. Readers are encouraged to seek independent legal advice as child custody issues can be overwhelming.
