Information on Parenting PACT
If your divorce is registered before 1 April 2025 and you have a child below 21 years old, you are required to attend a one-time Parenting PACT consultation session after your divorce is finalised. This is a two-hour session conducted by family counsellors from PPIS As-Salaam Family Support Centre. The session must be completed before 1 September 2025.
The Syariah Court will issue the certificate of divorce after you have attended the Parenting PACT session. This programme is free. The programme aims to help divorced parents:
- Understand the impact of divorce on their children
- Learn co-parenting skills
- Practise self-care; and
- Gain awareness of the community support resources available.
You can register for the Parenting PACT session by calling PPIS As-Salaam Family Support Centre at 6745 5862 after your divorce is finalised.
