A prenuptial agreement can significantly influence the duration and conditions of alimony in Singapore. These agreements, made before marriage, can specify terms for spousal maintenance, including the amount and duration of payments.
While the Court generally respects prenuptial agreements, it will still consider their fairness and whether they meet the parties' needs and obligations. The Court will first assess the divorce and the specific details outlined in the agreement, ensuring that neither party faces undue hardship.
If the prenuptial agreement is deemed reasonable and equitable, it can streamline the dissolution of marital bonds by clarifying the financial arrangements and expectations, including the handling of matrimonial assets and child support.
