Case Significance
[2026] SGFC 85, decided by Magistrate Soh Kian Peng on 22 June 2026, concerns the Mother's application in MSS 2758 of 2025 under section 71 of the Women's Charter 1961 to enforce a consent order requiring the Father to pay $1,500 a month in maintenance for two children, "A" and "B". The dispute centred on the Father unilaterally deducting the cost of A's dental treatment from the monthly maintenance instead of paying the full sum to the Mother, resulting in arrears found to total $1,200. Following trial on 28 April 2026, the Magistrate allowed the Mother's application, holding the consent order contained no clause permitting such a deduction.
