On 20 April 2023, the Family Justice Reform Bill (“Bill“) was tabled for First Reading in Parliament to amend various pieces of legislation such as the Family Justice Act, the Women’s Charter, and the Guardianship of Infants Act. The reforms introduced in the Bill are part of the ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Law, Ministry of Social and Family Development and Family Justice Courts to strengthen therapeutic justice elements in the family justice system in Singapore. The Bill has since been passed on 8 May 2023.
