Case Significance
XRZ v XSA [2026] SGFC 113 was decided by Magistrate Nathaniel Tan in the Family Court on 17 August 2026 (SSP 2542/2025), after a hearing on 13 August 2026. The applicant ex-husband, who held a Personal Protection Order dated 9 April 2025, sought a Domestic Exclusion Order and a Stay Away Order against his ex-wife for 10 metres around the home, his place of work and the two children's schools.

The court considered the factors for a Stay Away Order and granted one for the home only, for two years, taking effect on 21 August 2026. The Domestic Exclusion Order was dismissed.
