I'm married but I intend to file a divorce with my husband soon. Is it possible for me not to add his name into my child's birth cert? I'm afraid he would snatch my son from my if we divorce. Someone please advise.

Singapore Law usually grant mothers the full care and custody of the child. I'd suggest putting your husband's name on the birth cert too so you can file for a maintenance order for your child. He will be obligated to give your child allowance until he/she is 21 years old. You may wish to read more here: https://www.familyjusticecourts.gov.sg/what-we-do/family-courts/maintenance Take care.
