Case Significance
YIR v YIS [2026] SGHCF 31 was decided by Mavis Chionh Sze Chyi J in the General Division of the High Court (Family Division) on 16 September 2026 (Divorce (Transferred) No 1100 of 2024). The parties married on 11 June 2016 and had one child; interim judgment was granted on 29 April 2024. The ancillary matters were the division of matrimonial assets and child maintenance. The Husband largely failed to comply with a Discovery Order, so adverse inferences were drawn against him and a 7% uplift was awarded to the Wife. The court valued the matrimonial assets at $8,065,790.21, divided them 59.5:40.5 in the Husband's favour, and ordered him to pay the Wife $3,051,820.35, later directed to be paid in monthly instalments of $500,000 starting 16 October 2026. It ordered child maintenance of $2,804.69 per month and each party to bear his or her own costs.
