Case Significance
YJW v YJX [2026] SGFC 132 was decided by Magistrate Nathaniel Tan in the Family Court, with judgment dated 1 October 2026. The wife applied on 26 January 2026 for a personal protection order (PPO) and a no contact order (NCO) against the husband, relying on three alleged incidents of family violence on 30 July 2024, 24 January 2026 and 25 January 2026; the duty judge had dismissed the application on behalf of the children. The issues were whether family violence was proved and whether a PPO was necessary. The court found the only proven incident was the isolated one on 30 July 2024, engendered by provocation and 18 months before the application, found a low risk of future violence, and dismissed SSP 165/2026 in its entirety.
