Case Significance
XZE v XZF [2026] SGFC 91 was decided by District Judge Lynette Yap in the Family Court on 6 July 2026 (Divorce No 3679 of 2024, Summons No 876 of 2026). The parties married in November 2011 and have one child with special needs. After mediation, a consent order was recorded on 4 August 2025, leaving maintenance for the child and costs for a later hearing. The mother applied on 26 March 2026 to set aside or vary the order, alleging non-disclosure of the father's Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme and Asgard Superannuation Account. The issues were the variation or setting aside of a consent order and the use of mediation communications. The court dismissed the application in its entirety.

Summary
The Family Court heard a mother's application to set aside or vary a consent order, made on 4 August 2025 after mediation, dealing with custody, access and the division of assets in a marriage with one special-needs child. She alleged the father had not disclosed assets, including superannuation accounts held in Australia. The court held the funds were pre-marital assets the parties had agreed to exclude, that no substantially different order would have been made, and that mediation communications were inadmissible. It dismissed the application in its entirety.
Was the consent order set aside in XZE v XZF [2026] SGFC 91?
No. District Judge Lynette Yap dismissed the mother's application in its entirety, finding the undisclosed superannuation funds were pre-marital assets the parties had agreed to exclude, so a substantially different order would not have been made.
Can mediation communications be used to vary a consent order in [2026] SGFC 91?
The court held they could not be used here. The Mediation Act 2017 does not apply to mediation conducted by a court, and such communications are inadmissible under paragraph 83(6) of the Family Justice Courts Practice Directions 2024.
