What if it is a child under joint custody of both parents in 2 HDB flats?

41 views
In the context of Singapore property and real estate, the issue of a child under joint custody of both parents does not directly impact the ownership or occupancy of HDB flats or private properties. However, here are some relevant points to consider:
- HDB Flat Ownership: When it comes to owning an HDB flat, the rules regarding occupancy and ownership are governed by HDB regulations. A person's status as a parent or child under joint custody does not affect their eligibility to own or occupy an HDB flat, provided they meet the HDB's eligibility criteria.
- Occupancy Requirements: For HDB flats, the occupier's list must include all household members, but it does not need to reflect the custody arrangements of children. The key requirement is that all listed occupants must meet HDB's eligibility criteria and not be listed as occupants in another HDB flat.
- Private Property: For private properties, the ownership and occupancy are governed by the terms of the property deed and any relevant agreements between the owners. Custody arrangements of children do not directly influence the legal ownership or occupancy rights of private properties.
In summary, the joint custody of a child does not have a direct impact on the ownership or occupancy rules for either HDB flats or private properties in Singapore. The primary considerations remain the eligibility criteria set by HDB for public housing and the terms of ownership for private properties.
