Can't find my post. Someone must have stolen it.
Anyway divorces are fairly common these days. I don't think anyone will bat an eye over this plus her name is a fairly common Minah name.
Anyway the nett "loss" to Abang is not $46,000 + $46,000 + $53,000. One of the $46,000 would either be her CPF contribution for the flat (although you said she never paid a cent for it), or if what you say is accurate, that $46,000 would have to be based on CPF foregone had she been working (and hence, be able to help pay the mortgage) instead of looking after the kids.
The $53,000 component is, I am sure, due to the appreciation of the value of the flat from the original purchase price of about $124,000 +/- by about $106,000 and this would be have to be calculated based on the "official" flat's current valuation of $210,000- $249,000. Hence, this is not shown in Option 2 if the flat is sold "jointly". So, from the point of view of money, it will be unfair for your friend to reap the $106,000 or so in appreciation if he transfers the flat to his name without giving a share of the profits to her.
Leaving emotions and the WC aside, I think this is fair.
Be that as it may be, she does sound like a bitch since most times, women, in line with their maternal instincts, are the ones who will fight tooth and nail for, or be given, custody of their kids.
Hi bro, I think the mod stolen your post

sorry about that!
Anyway according to the defendant, the amount of the cpf money was derived from 45% of the defendant's asset. Because the judge earlier awarded this proportion to the wife based on her contribution to the marriage and the length of the marriage (13 yrs).
Personally I believe the total amount should be $46,000 + $53,000 but I am not sure and that's why I ask here.
The defendant understands that he needs to give a share to the bitch be it under the law or morally.
But he can't agree on the proportion.
Other than bearing the baby in her stomach for 9 months and going thru the labour of giving birth, and looking after the kids for few years after they were born, his ex-wife didn't care about the kids and the house chore. She didn't even bother to pack her husband's clothes.
She did cook for the family and sent kids to school but unwillingly for a period of time only.
After that, she went out working and left all their young kids and house chores to the husband who needed to work in the meantime.
The husband is now in the care and control of the kids.
He still needs to service the home loan for another 6 to 8 years.
He's 50 plus and has high chance to be retrenched.
Two of his kids are teenagers who may be going to college or poly in near future.
Besides feeling unfair, he's concerned that with all these cpf money given to his ex-wife, he may not be able to support the home loan and his kids for higher education in future.
Ever since the marriage, the wife basically did not spend a single cent on the kids or the family.
Even now, she does not provide any financial support to the kids, too.
Anyway, your points are noted and thanks!
