I am a Singapore Citizen (35 years old) and my spouse is a SC too. I am looking to buy a 5 rm hdb where i am the sole owner and he is occupier, i paid all of the down payment and the installment. I will not be getting grant for the hdb.

If we go through a divorce in 6mths-2 yrs time and I have the full custody of children where he visits them weekly, can i retain the hdb myself?

I phoned the hotline and they told me it is possible as I am the sole owner but I want to be sure. thanks

Hi, if you have the full custody of your children, then you will be able to retain the HDB unit and does not need to sell it away upon divorce.

Morning,

Under public scheme, you can purchase resale HDB unit with your spouse and keep him as the essential occupier. When you divorce, based on what is stated on the court order and with the custody of the child, you can execute according to what is stated on the court order.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.
