SINGAPORE - One divorced father said he was anxious that he would not be able to see his children again, even after the circuit breaker period ends. His ex-wife has denied him child access during this time.

"Access is a practical problem we are facing in Singapore even without the Covid-19 situation. Many ex-spouses, in particular, fathers who are usually in this situation since care and control is usually granted to the mother, are going to end up this month without access and be very unhappy." The court reminded parents to cooperate with each other and"act sensibly and safely in all arrangements made for their children".

Those who had supervised access at divorce support specialist agencies would also have access suspended as these centres are closed during the circuit breaker period. He added that it would be difficult to file applications for access during this period as it was highly unlikely that the courts would qualify them as urgent and essential.
