Grace Law LLC continues to demonstrate its commitment to justice and excellence in family law, securing a significant victory in a recent divorce case. The firm successfully represented a wife in a family dispute where the husband attempted to conceal and dissipate matrimonial assets before initiating divorce proceedings.
Uncovering Hidden Assets: The case revolved around the husband’s deliberate attempts to transfer substantial sums of money out of Singapore. Investigations conducted by Grace Law LLC revealed that the husband closed multiple bank accounts before the divorce proceedings and transferred approximately $70,000 to Australia. Additionally, $30,000 was withdrawn from his CPF account and subsequently moved overseas and thousands of dollars in cash were not declared in the matrimonial assets.
Despite Grace Law LLC’s successfully application of the Discovery and Interrogatories application against the husband, the husband failed to provide the documentation sought for. The firm’s meticulous evidence-gathering and strategic legal arguments convinced the court that it should draw an adverse inference for the lack of full and frank disclosure. Certain identified funds were also added back into the matrimonial asset pool, ensuring a favorable division of assets for the wife.
Setting a Precedent in Cost Recovery: One of the most remarkable aspects of this case was the court’s decision to award legal costs to Grace Law LLC’s client, despite the husband being represented by the Legal Aid Bureau. Typically, courts are reluctant to award costs against legally aided litigants, as they have undergone strict means tests to qualify for the government financial support. However, the compelling arguments presented by Grace Law LLC demonstrated the exceptional circumstances of the case, leading to this rare decision in favor of their client in getting the family court to award a few thousand for cost from the husband.
Excellence in Legal Advocacy: The court’s ruling recognized the firm’s ability to present a well-researched and persuasive case, further solidifying Grace Law LLC’s reputation for excellence in family law. By leveraging forensic financial analysis, compelling witness statements, and precise legal arguments, the firm ensured justice for their client while setting a precedent for future cases involving dissipation of assets.
