When you go for any such proceedings, the divorce and the maintenance settlement are two SEPARATE proceedings, it doesnt' means if she is the one that commits adultery you can refused to spilt assets or pay her alimony....
Let me give examples.
If you commit adultery, you have to pay her $x,000 for life or until she remarries.
If she commits adultery, you have to pay her $x,000 for life or until she remarries.
If you commit adultery, your assets are hers for disposal.
If she commit adultery, her assets are hers and hers alone.
If she wants to feed her lover with your peanuts, the law is on her side. You pay or you go to jail.
That is the result of feminist activists like Aware, government support of such activism in terms of laws like the Women Charter which has an entire Ministry, the Ministry of Community Youth and Sports championing it - resulting in legal interpretations and precedents in the Family Court or if the divorce settlement is large, the High Court. You can check the CPF and IRAS laws - they refer to the right of the spouse to get your CPF money directly from the CPF, independently of you, and tax rebates for the divorced mother, not father.
That feels good.
