Summary
An unmarried Chinese mother applied in Singapore for custody and access orders regarding her two young daughters after the father unilaterally relocated the children from Singapore to China in breach of an earlier injunction. The father applied for a stay of proceedings arguing China was the more appropriate forum, supported by a mediated agreement reached in Chinese proceedings. The Family Court dismissed the stay application, finding Singapore had jurisdiction and that the changed circumstances — including the father's refusal to disclose the children's whereabouts — warranted a review of custody arrangements.
