Yes, spousal maintenance in Singapore can be paid as a lump sum, providing a clean break between the parties.
The Court will evaluate whether a lump sum payment is appropriate based on the overall financial situation, including the division of matrimonial assets and the budget required for the former spouse to maintain a reasonable standard of living.
Lump sum payments can offer a practical solution in cases where continuous alimony payments may be challenging due to financial instability or the payer's desire to finalise financial obligations.
