CNA Published: 3:30pm, 16 Sep 2026 A Singapore family court rejected a 90-year-old man’s claim for spousal maintenance from his 89-year-old wife, noting that both of them are in the twilight of their lives.
The court also noted that the man would receive more than S$2 million (US$1.6 million) from the matrimonial pool, comprising the couple’s assets to be divided in the divorce, and his wife was a retiree living on a pension.
The former couple were married for more than 64 years and have three children, all aged above 60, a judgment published on Wednesday said. They were not named in the judgment, as is usual for a family court ruling.
Most of the value in the matrimonial pool came from their joint asset, a S$5.8 million house.
