What happens if I divorce?
 

When a couple divorces, the Court may divide the matrimonial assets acquired during the couple’s marriage, including investments made with CPF savings.The division could be in the form of a transfer of CPFIS investments from a member to the ex-spouse or a sale of CPFIS investments so that the sales proceeds could be transferred from the member’s CPF account(s) to the ex-spouse's CPF account(s), if the ex-spouse is a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident.
