Case Significance
YBG v YBH [2026] SGFC 50, decided on 2 April 2026 by District Judge Kevin Ho, resolved two concurrent applications arising from divorce proceedings. The Husband applied in FC/OADV 709/2025 to rescind the wife maintenance order (paragraph 3e of the Interim Judgment for Divorce dated 13 February 2023), which required him to pay S$2,000 per month. The Wife had filed MSS 1726/2025 in August 2025 to enforce that same maintenance order. The case considers whether a consent order for maintenance can be set aside on the ground of fraudulent misrepresentation, together with the parallel question of enforcement where maintenance has allegedly not been paid.
Summary
A husband sought to rescind a consent maintenance order of $2,000 per month for his wife, embedded in a 2023 Interim Judgment, on the basis that she had fraudulently misrepresented that the figure was merely "symbolic" and would never be enforced. The wife simultaneously sought enforcement of $68,000 in arrears accumulated since the Final Judgment. District Judge Kevin Ho dismissed the husband's rescission application in its entirety, finding no fraudulent misrepresentation, and made an enforcement order for the full $68,000 in arrears, payable in instalments of $2,000 per month alongside the ongoing monthly maintenance, with a default three-day imprisonment term.
