XTM v XTN

Following a 14-year marriage between an Italian wife and Australian husband, both working professionals in Singapore with two sons, the court determined ancillary matters after the wife was unexpectedly retrenched from her executive director position. The key issues were the division of matrimonial assets worth approximately $1.06 million, children's maintenance, and spousal maintenance. The court divided assets 60:40 in the wife's favour, ordered the husband to pay $8,000 monthly for the two children plus school fees, and awarded the wife $1,000 monthly spousal maintenance for two years or until she found employment.
