Abstract:
This case comment analyses the recent decision of the General Division of the High Court (Family Division) in XTR v XTQ [2026] SGHCF 11, where the court held that the threshold for assessing unreasonable behaviour was the same for judicial separation proceedings and divorce proceedings. In this case comment, the authors provide some critical commentary in relation to this case law development and highlight its implications for family law practitioners.
