Singapore court rejects 90-year-old’s spousal support claim against ex-wife, 89

The ex-wife claims that after she retired in 1992, she supported the household and gave her husband half of her monthly pension

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.
