The order had been varied several times, most recently on 28 November 2025 in the related decision VPN v VPO [2026] SGFC 6. In earlier enforcement proceedings (MSS of 2022), arrears of $3,261.58 were assessed as of 8 June 2022. District Judge Goh varied the maintenance structure from a reimbursement basis to fixed monthly payments backdated to June 2022 — $350 per month from June 2022 to February 2026, rising to $575 per month from March 2026 — so that arrears could be calculated seamlessly from the prior enforcement order.
