| PSG Defender Achraf Hakimi's wife filed for divorce and wanted more than half of the Moroccan footballer's property and fortune. He is one of the highest paid players in the French Ligue , he receives more than a million euros per month. The ex-wife therefore would have had the jackpot! But when they arrived in court, they realized that Achraf Hakimi had no property and that the bank had none either. Achraf Hakimi had put his entire fortune under his mother's name a long time ago meaning whenever he wanted to buy anything, his mother buys it for him. Goat 😂

Seriously?

Recently it seems alot of people has been airing their frustrations here....I would like to pen down my thoughts on this....as well as seek the wise advice of all the wise people here.... When one door closes on you, sometimes another unexpectedly opens up...for example as you guys know yesterday was the official brokeup date for me...there is nothing tying me and my exgf together anyway as the sale of our property is completed...previously we felt that we were obligated to be together partly because of our joint assets...so with nutti to tie us together....it's perhaps the start of a new beginning for me....the only question I have is that should I cancel the insurance policy we bought on each other for a large sum of money...we had not spoken to each other for months and since we do not contact each other anymore I suppose we will never get back together? With the property issue settled, I feel like asking her so how are you happy? I want to tell her that the small sum of money I deposited in our account is hers and if we should cancel the insurance but I also cannot bring myself to call her. I am both sad and happy at the same time, I realise that there are actually alot of nice girls around for example Rviolet who is really keeping me busy now...so as mentioned when one door closes on you, unexpectedly another opens up.....so I wish all the bros here who has divorce or broken up to keep the faith and be happy....open up your mind and try new things....for example I sturbornly use a nokia phone for 10 years thinking it is the best but after changing to an iphone, wow, it is actually so much better than the symbian software.... So my advice to all bros is to constantly try new things, improve yourself, life goes on and eventually happiness will come to you! I don't know what I am talking about

Been happening for some time but this is a very good case where both cannot meet minimum sum https://singaporeuncensored.com/couple-divorce-so-they-can-buy-another-hdb-flat-to-earn-rental/ COUPLE DIVORCE SO THEY CAN BUY ANOTHER HDB FLAT TO EARN RENTAL ByHello Its me September 8, 2022 Bumped into an ex-colleague (who is the same age as me) earlier and had an interesting brief catch up chat over coffee. He and his wife are now divorced. But except that there is nothing wrong with their marriage and they are still living together. The sole purpose of getting the divorce is to be able to buy ANOTHER HDB FLAT (under the singles scheme). So they collectively own two HDB flats as two single individuals. You see, he was a manager that had recently been displaced by cheaper foreign labour. As all of us know, at our age, there is a real challenge in getting a job that would pay him a decent salary. Yes, there are lots of employers that wants to hire him. He is, afterall, a qualified professional with a wealth of 30 years’ experience behind him. However, these greedy employers are just not willing to pay him his worth and wants to exploit his skills and experience for a mean salary. He refused to prostitute his skills for a low salary. He end up driving a cab that (ironically) pays him more than any of the offers that he had received. He won’t be getting any of his CPF money next year because he won’t be able to meet his minimum sum. All his past CPF contributions (more than $800K) had already gone into his 5rm HDB flat that they are staying in now. His wife has some CPF left but she (too) won’t be able to get a single cent out in a few years’ time because she (too) won’t be able to meet the minimum sum as well. So they planned, got a divorce and bought a second HDB flat just before they could lock away her CPF as the minimum sum in her CPF. They then moved into the new flat and rented their older flat out legally because he had already and duly met the “Minimum Occupation Period” required for the legal renting out for that flat. And this rental income will serve an additional passive retirement income. When I asked if he would be flouting any HDB regulations by doing that, he replied, 1) They are legally divorced and they are both legally SINGLE now. 2) He can retain the existing 5rm flat under the singles scheme and his wife is eligible to buy another flat under the singles scheme. 3) There is no law in this land that prohibit two single persons (divorced or not) from living together as a couple regardless if they were previously married or not. 4) At his age, being legally married is just a marital status. It doesn’t stop them living together as man and wife. They both had made their wills. 5) Instead of having the money stuck as a minimum sum in their CPF, they might as well utilise whatever that they can get out of their CPF so as to get an alternative passive income since:- – – a) they won’t be able to get any of their CPF money anyway – – b) even when they do get their CPF monthly payouts after the age of 65 yrs old (which is still a long way to go), the amounts will be so miserable that they would hardly be able to do anything decent with it anyway… – – c) so…. they might as well get a second HDB flat with whatever money that they can siphoned out from their CPF (before the money is being locked away instead under the minimum sum)…. rent it out and (at least), the monthly rental income of $2,500 can help them live a more dignified retirement IMMEDIATELY (right away) rather than waiting till they reach 65 yrs old for that miserable delayed CPF payout that is so insignificant…. Thinking aloud now…. could this be the new norm of retirement in Singapore that Singaporeans will be planning for? Wouldn’t it be so sad that we have to come to this, in order that we can respond to how our hard-earned CPF money is being wilfully and forcefully withheld from us…

Photo: Handout A 45-year-old man in China is divorcing his wife of 16 years after discovering the three daughters he raised are not his biological children. The man, surnamed Chen, from Jiangxi province, eastern China, has filed for a divorce from his wife, surnamed Yu, after discovering she cheated on him during their marriage and that the couple’s three daughters were conceived with another man. Chen worked away from home to support his family, but said he initially never suspected his wife of infidelity as they maintained close contact with frequent voice and video calls. However, he became suspicious earlier this year when his wife started avoiding his calls and said she wanted to work away from home, China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station reported yesterday. Chen discovered his wife’s cheating after tracking her phone’s GPS to a hotel where she was with another man. Photo: zhihu.com Chen decided to follow Yu by tracking her mobile phone’s GPS location. On March 1, Chen traced Yu to a hotel in eastern China where she was staying. The next morning Chen saw his wife checking out of the hotel with a man she had been having an affair with. Chen initially forgave Yu, but sought a paternity test that revealed their youngest daughter was fathered by another man. However, Chen chose to stay in the marriage to keep the family together. This changed when further paternity tests revealed the couple’s other two daughters were also not Chen’s biological children. After this shocking revelation, Yu disappeared and Chen was unable to locate her. He then sought help from local media and was pictured crying with his head in his hands during an interview with China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station. “None of them was my own child,” said Chen during the interview. Yu, however, remained unrepentant and when tracked down and interviewed by the TV station, she reasoned her behaviour was not infidelity. “I don’t think I cheated on him. Is biological paternity really important? Couples who are sterile adopt kids all the time,” Yu said in a phone interview. She also criticised Chen for seeking a divorce after discovering their three daughters were conceived with another man. “Please try to empathise with me. The three children called him ‘dad’ for many years, but now he says the daughters are not his own. What is the difference between him and an animal?” Chinese social media was filled with commentary critical of Yu’s behaviour and disrespect towards her husband. “How upset the husband was! Is Yu mentally ill?,” asked one online commenter. Chen’s wife was unrepentant about her deception and asked if a blood relationship with a child is so important? Photo: zhihu.com Another asked: “Chen could get compensation with the help of the courts. But how can he heal his broken heart after 16 years? “The husband could file for a divorce if he believed his wife’s behaviour severely harmed their relationship,” a lawyer, surnamed Zhou, from Beijing Zhongchi Law Firm told China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station. “When he applies for a divorce, not only would the law encourage him to ask his wife to reimburse support payments and other expenses he paid for the three children, but he could also seek damages for psychological suffering.” Another lawyer, surnamed Yu, from AllBright Law Offices told NetEase: “Chinese law regulates that the person who caused harm to the other partner in a marriage may lose any share of assets in a subsequent divorce.”

asking on behalf of a good friend. not me ar! the divorce is gonna to be a very straightforward one. no court case to fight over assets or whatever. no children in the family. any one can recommend a cheap lawyer, just to do the paperwork? what's the normal rate for a straight forward divorce case?

Possible?

It was announced that just recently, Wang Lee Hom got a divorce from his wife of 8-years. But here's the ultimate bombshell that was dropped last night by his wife. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4380609 https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4380609 Just two days after Taiwanese-American crooner Wang Leehom (王力宏) announced he was divorcing his Taiwanese wife of eight years Lee Jinglei (李靚蕾) on Wednesday (Dec. 15), she responded by issuing a massive Instagram post that revealed a long list of alleged indiscretions ranging from infidelity to prostitution. On Friday evening (Dec. 17), Lee unleashed a nine-page tirade on Instagram that covered multiple aspects of their relationship in intimate detail. In the post, she lamented that if she had known beforehand that he wanted to live a "single life" she would never have married him and given birth to his three children. She wrote that in signing an "unequal prenuptial agreement," she understood that the property obtained before the marriage is his. However, indicating litigation over his fortune earned of eight years of marriage, she said "the property after marriage was earned by our mutual efforts." Lee bitterly wrote that Wang had used her as a "chess piece," taking advantage of her empathy and love to make her his "shield." She claimed that he "hid behind her" to gain the power he desired and in the process "you're the angel and I'm the devil." Alluding to rumors that he had had affairs with celebrities such as BY2's Yumi Bai (孫雨), Lee wrote that Wang had repeated what he had told the media, that he would not comment on the reports. As more reports of these alleged affairs have started to come in, she wrote "I will no longer bear your cross for you." Lee recalled that she first met Wang when she was 16, and he was 26. She wrote that after he had courted her for a while, they went on a date in which they held hands and because of his status as an idol, "I held no defense in my heart," and they had sex. The next day, she recalls that he stated that he did not want a relationship. She claimed to have later found out that she was one of several such "friends" he had engaged in sex with in "many cities." Lee then revealed an incident in which Wang was allegedly caught on camera soliciting a prostitute and claimed there is "video proof of all of this." She wrote that Wang admitted this incident to her and "has a problem and cannot control himself." At the time, she expressed her desire to part ways, but he insisted that she would be his "only one" in the future, and they married and started a family. However, she claims that after a concert in Shanghai, he disappeared for one night and she later learned that he had met with a "friend with benefits" and partied the night away. Lee alleged that she discovered photos of the encounter and that he continued to see the woman, allegedly exchanging nude photos on his birthday. In an apparent reference to recent sightings with a famous actress in September, Lee also said that Wang had an affair with a "married woman with children" who he allegedly coordinated with in concealing their relationship from her husband. The post went into even further detail of the crooner's alleged indiscretions when she wrote that he cataloged the prostitutes he had slept with by their features. She claimed that this included some "staff members" who interact with the family. Saving the biggest bombshell for last, she expressed her hope that Wang could "face yourself with honesty, ignore the world's judgment, and be with the right person." Many netizens on Weibo are speculating this is a reference to Chinese male concert pianist Li Yundi (李雲迪), with whom many have speculated Wang has had a romantic relationship with for eight years.

Bill gates divorced!

https://mothership.sg/2018/05/married-couple-divorced-buy-hdb-flat-as-single/?nlarticleid=11561273 Husband and wife agree to a divorce of convenience A husband and wife in Singapore had apparently agreed to divorce — just so that they can each own a HDB flat. This was after they figured marriage is just a status, and by divorcing, they can unlock their Central Provident Fund monies in a different way. Wife bought another flat under singles scheme The couple originally bought a HDB flat together when they got married. It was paid for using the husband’s CPF. The husband is now a cab driver. He is likely to be 54 this year, or somewhere in his mid-fifties. He claims he cannot withdraw his CPF money by next year because it does not meet the Minimum Sum, or Retirement Sum, which is the minimum amount of money needed in your CPF account when you turn 55 before withdrawals can be made. The wife too will not be able to withdraw any CPF money in a few years’ time, since she also does not meet the minimum sum. The plan Husband and wife then divorced. On paper. But they are obviously still very much together. This frees up the wife to buy a HDB flat of her own as a single under the Single Singapore Citizen (SSC) scheme. She is able to get a housing grant for the flat as a second-timer single Singapore citizen applicant. She can pay for it with her CPF — which otherwise would be locked in once she turns 55. The man now owns the first flat as a single. Rental income Since he has lived in the house for longer than the five-year Minimum Occupation Period, he is able to rent it out. The husband then proceeds to live with his now ex-wife in the new flat, while both enjoy the passive income from the rental of the first matrimonial flat — said to be about $2,500 monthly.

How much can a wife expect to receive when her marriage breaks down? Typically, a divorced tai-tai will claim monthly maintenance between $15,000 to $30,000 from their high net-worth husbands, according to a Straits Times report. Middle-class divorcees generally do not claim more than $10,000. A maintenance order may be made before, during and after divorce proceedings, where the Court may either order the husband to give a monthly allowance, or a lump sum payment as maintenance. The court will typically consider the following circumstances when making the Order: - The family's financial needs - The wife's earning capacity and other financial resources - The wife's physical or mental disability, and - The standard of living enjoyed by the family before the husband neglected or refused to provide maintenance (Above information sourced from You & The Law 3) What expenses can an ex-spouse's monthly maintenance be used to cover? These can include: - Maintenance of property, - Groceries, - Domestic help, - Personal grooming - Shopping, - Holidays - Meals For tai-tais, their big-ticket items could be - First class air tickets costing $20,000 and more - Holidays that can include trips to Europe, - Stays in luxury hotels - Regular shopping sprees at high-end boutiques that can come up to $5,000 or more each month - Rental and loan payments on their homes - Beauty treatments such as manicures and pedicures - Visits to hair salons, all of which can cost up to $3,000 - Fine dining at restaurants every month which may set them back about $3,000 - Monthly maintenance covers the ex-wife's personal spending and is separate from maintenance of the couple's children from the marriage. It also does not cover insurance and maintenance parents. The following information has been sourced from You & The Law 3: Division of Matrimonial Assets The Court can order a division of assets or a sale of assets and divide the proceeds which it thinks is just and equitable upon a divorce Matrimonial assets should be acquired during the marrige, and is used or enjoyed by both parties or one or more children. It can also refer to assets acquired before the marriage but substantially improved by one or both spouses. Among other things, the Court can also transfer the assets from one spouse to the other, postpone the transfer or sale of the asset until the youngest child reaches independence, grant one spouse the right to live in a matrimonial home to the exclusion of the other, and order one party to pay the other. Applying for an injunction If a spouse disposes of properties with the intention of reducing his or her means to pay maintenance, or to deprive the other party of his/her right to the properties, the aggrieved party may apply for a Court injunction to prevent the disposal from taking place or to set aside the disposal within three years that the disposal was made. The application for an injunction can be made when any matrimonial proceedings are pending, an order is made for the matrimonial assets to be divided, a maintenance order for the wife or child has been granted, and when maintenance is payable.

Every year, more than a quarter of couple divorce. Good news is couples are getting marry at younger age but bad news is divorce also at earlier age. Years of marriage also get shorter before divorce.

A Beijing man is seeking to divorce his wife after she took their son to a tropical island province to escape the capital's notorious smog, saying the long-distance relationship had destroyed their marriage, state media said on Thursday. -- FILE PHOTO: REUTERS BEIJING (Reuters) - A Beijing man is seeking to divorce his wife after she took their son to a tropical island province to escape the capital's notorious smog, saying the long-distance relationship had destroyed their marriage, state media said on Thursday. The man, identified only by his family name of Wang, married his wife in 2008 and had a son two years later, the Beijing Times reported, in a story widely picked up by other Chinese media outlets online, including Xinhua news agency. But their son developed serious health problems because of Beijing's air pollution and his wife took the son to the southern resort island of Hainan to escape the haze. However, Mr Wang's wife did not like Hainan and nor did she like living apart from him, and whenever the two of them met they fought, the report said. Fed up with this, Mr Wang has filed for divorce in a Beijing court, the newspaper said. - See more at: http://www.straitstimes.com/news/asia/east-asia/story/chinese-man-seeks-divorce-saying-smog-has-driven-family-apart-20140501#sthash.1bTpl32X.dpuf

Ex-Malaysian Beauty Queen Has 1000 Pairs Of Shoes, As Told To UK High Court http://eng.mynewshub.cc/2014/10/06/ex-malaysian-beauty-queen-has-1000-pairs-of-shoesas-told-to-uk-high-court/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Mynewshub-English+%28MyNewsHub+-+English%29 LONDON: In a bid to have her divorce heard in Britain, Pauline Chai, the estranged wife of Malaysian business tycoon Khoo Kay Peng, has told the High Court that she keeps 700 of her 1,000 pairs of shoes in her £30mil (RM156mil) Hertfordshire mansion. “I have more than 1,000 pairs of shoes from 43 years. I have accumulated them, I never dispose of them,” Chai, 67, was cited by the Telegraph as saying. Chai, who was crowned Miss Malaysia 1969, was giving evidence last Friday to prove that the couple settled permanently in Hertfordshire in 2009 and she was therefore entitled to file her divorce petition in the country. Khoo, 75, is contesting Britain’s jurisdiction and has filed his own divorce petition in their native Malaysia. Neither of them is a British citizen. They have five adult children together. Chai’s claim is estimated at £200mil (RM1bil) and if successful, is potentially Britain’s largest divorce settlement. It is believed that she filed her petition in London because divorce settlements are based on an equal distribution of matrimonial assets here. She could be entitled to less under Malaysian law, which divides matrimonial assets according to a spouse’s contribution to their acquisition, either directly via payments or indirectly by raising the children and taking care of the home. The couple lived a lavish lifestyle during their 43-year marriage, with luxury staffed homes also in Kuala Lumpur, Canada and Australia. In Britain, they live in separate mansions at Rossway Park, a sprawling 405ha estate in Berkhamstead, Hertfordshire guarded by Gurkhas and containing some llamas, alpacas and two man-made lakes costing £60,000 (RM312,000) each. According to the Telegraph, when challenged by Khoo’s lawyers that she also had an extensive collection of clothes, shoes and handbags in her Kuala Lumpur home, Chai responded: “When you have houses all over the world and you travel so much, (you have some at each house) so you don’t have to carry it all along with you.” Khoo is ranked 42nd on Malaysia’s 50 richest list by US magazine Forbes. According to Forbes, his net worth as at February this year is £190mil (RM987mil), though it is speculated his worth is closer to £500mil (RM2.6bil). Chai also told the court last Thursday that she had ordered a padded toilet seat for her husband as he had backache from spending hours reading and working while sitting on the toilet daily. The Daily Mail reported that Chai’s lawyer Richard Todd QC said last Friday she lived on a “beautiful English estate”, had a taste for English TV shows and valued what was “quintessentially” English. It had been reported earlier that Chai had her 15-room Hertfordshire home decked out in Laura Ashley furnishings because she “loved England and everything English”, and not just because her husband owns a 40% stake in the clothing and interiors firm. Chai filed for divorce in February last year, citing her husband’s unreasonable behaviour. She has accused him of being “very controlling”, rationing her food and forbidding her from leaving their house without his permission. Chai said on Friday that she was not divorcing her husband for money, but to get away from a “violent” relationship, admitting that at one point she had locked herself in a back room, according to The Telegraph. “I just wanted to get away from an abusive, oppressive relationship which I could not take because of my age,” she said. “When I was younger, I could recover. Now it is too difficult to overcome it because of the violence and the fear he is putting on me,” she added. She said he had told her: “You are nothing, you have nothing, you have no bargaining powers.” Khoo’s lawyers have strenuously denied these allegations on his behalf, though the reclusive magnate has not made a personal appearance at any of the proceedings in Britain. He will give evidence via live video link when the hearing resumes on Oct 13. This high-stakes case has also attracted attention, and criticism, for its spiralling costs. The legal fees for both sides have reached an eye-watering £2.3mil (RM12mil) in total, just for the preliminary proceedings so far. Chai is represented by Ayesha Vardag, the capital’s “diva of divorce” who in 2010 got pre-nuptial agreements recognised in England, allowing her client, German heiress Karin Radmacher, to protect her £100mil (RM520mil) fortune from her former husband. Khoo has retained Fiona Shackleton, another renowned divorce lawyer who has advised the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, Nigella Lawson and the Prince of Wales during his divorce from the late Diana, Princess of Wales. – Singapore Straits Times/ANN

Any MCF bro owners of the damaged Beemer, Volks or Mazda? [bigcry] From STOMP: http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...ly_divorce.html Posted on 15 Jun 2012 Hubby in ugly divorce rams his Peugeot into wife's car workshop About six months after learning that his wife wanted a divorce after their eight-year marriage, a man drove to his wife's motor workshop in Sin Ming and created a din. He also rammed his Peugeot into three second-hand cars parked there. According to a report in The New Paper, the incident happened on May 7 after Mindy (not her real name) handed her husband, Calvin (also not his real name), divorce papers on October. The couple, both 37, have yet to finalise their divorce. After storming into the workshop in a rage, throwing a chair onto the floor and shouting: "If you want to play, I'll play with you," Calvin then got back into his black Peugeot and rammed a BMW, a Mazda and a Volkswagen, which were waiting to be sold. The damage cost $50,000 to repair. The incident was caught on the workshop's security camera, which also saw Calvin then come out of his car and provoke an employee at the workshop. Mindy called her father-in-law and brother-in-law down to the workshop as she "wanted his family to see for themselves what he was like". Mindy felt Calvin was agitated that she stopped paying for his car's instalments after they broke up, which was bought in the company's name. The company was previously run by the both of them. According to Mindy, Calvin had cheated on her with another woman, while he says he only did so to facilitate their divorce. She also believes her facebook account was hacked by him, and a message saying the company was going bankrupt and would cease operating next month was posted. Calvin also said Mindy had been harassing him at their Balestier home, ringing the doorbell late at night, shouting at him and frightening him and his mother. Mindy then alleged that the locks had been changed and she wanted to collect her belongings. STOMPer Phew-Got commented: "This is a scary divorce story that will probably appear in a soap opera. Surprising that it happened right here in Singapore. "I guess the guy was super angry for some reason, but he still acted too rashly. Being a previous co-owner of the workshop, he would know there were CCTVs installed. "However, I guess he still had some rationale left, else he would have turned violent and either beaten up the employee or rammed him too. "Unfortunately, marriages do go sour, and I guess the longer the couple has been married, the more painful. "Whatever the reason, I hope it gets settled peacefully from now on, with no more adult temper tantrums underfoot."

Not sure if any of you bros can give any advice on this. -Can a father of 1.5 year old baby, brings her back to his home country Malaysia which both are citizens. Before any divorce proceedings are filed? -The mother is not a Malaysian citizen -Basically the father just want to be the baby as most likely the custody given to the mother. -Is it a Singapore or Malaysia jurisdiction then? -Since the mother is not Malaysian, then custody will be given to the father instead?
