Summary
A French husband applied to stay divorce proceedings commenced by his French wife in Singapore, arguing France was the more appropriate forum, after he had filed parallel divorce proceedings in France and returned there permanently. Both parties had lived in Singapore for about 10 years with their children who attended the French International School. The Family Court dismissed the stay application, finding Singapore was the appropriate forum given the wife and children's continued residence, the location of the matrimonial assets, and the fact that French courts would be obliged to apply Singapore law.
