Adoption & Guardianship

Adoption is a happy matter. It is always pleasant to be welcoming a new member of the family.

At Trident Law, we seek to make the adoption process as smooth as possible in order that you can bask in the joys of raising your new child as soon and as easily as possible. We enjoy being a part of the process of bringing happiness to you and your child.

We work with specialised adoption agents in Singapore who are well known and renowned for their quality of service. At every step of the way, we explain to clients the court procedures and the Ministry of Social and Family Development’s (“MSF”) involvement. At Trident Law, we emphasise that the child’s welfare is prioritised above all. We also guide clients to ensure that they meet MSF’s expectations and find ways to improve their home and lifestyle to make it conducive for the child.

We advise clients on what they should do first before proceeding on the application. We ensure that we guide clients through all of the relevant information on the MSF adoption website as well, to ensure that clients are thoroughly familiarised with the adoption process and requirements.

Guardianship applications may be required for a variety of reasons as well. At Trident Law, we ensure that we advise you on the legal position as well as other considerations before an application is made. We explore the most cost-effective and efficient routes to ensure that your guardianship application is processed with as reasonable a cost, and as quick a time as possible. Ultimately, we seek to prioritise both your interests as well as the child over whom a guardianship application is sought.
