Among her reasons for transferring her children to an international school where she worked, the woman cited childcare arrangements and corporal punishment at the local school.
New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: A mother who sought to transfer her two children to an international school against her ex-husband's wishes has failed in her bid to do so, after a High Court judge rejected her reasons such as childcare arrangements and potential corporal punishment in local schools.
She said the children should attend the international school where she worked so that she could care for them when they were dismissed from school. These reasons were inadequate to Justice Choo, who found that the situation could be overcome by sharing caregiving duties with the father. The lower court had felt that the court case should not have been discussed with the children, nor should they have been given the impression that they could attend the international school.
There was also no evidence to show that the children were likely to be subject to corporal punishment, he added.
