In case of alimony, there is nothing in the context of the law to state that the woman has priority in the child (fairness is the key). but the society keeps looking as most of the child alimony has been given to the woman side, this puts the stress on to the defense lawyers (the men), we would have to prove that the child has much more to gain if they were to follow daddy (more money, more care and sort...)
somehow, one party will lose out... its just who thats the case

I assume you are not a local. You do not understand the way the Women's Charter is interpreted here. We do not have alimony here. However the Women's Charter provides us an avenue to claim maintenance for our children and ourselves. So who shall be made to pay? The men of course. The last thing the government wants is to have divorced women and children from broken families to be a financial burden to them so they will make them men pay up regardless of their circumstances. Speaking as a female I can give an insight into how the Women's Charter is used as a social engineering tool. It will never be repealed by the government. The previous Chairwoman of AWARE made an attempt to petition the Government to amend the Women's Charter to be gender neutral.... she was replaced immediately.
I was first introduced to the WC in secondary school. And we had constant reminders and talks throughout our education until graduation. We were taught the WC is there to help us the weaker sex and advice and assistance is always available to us should we require it. It was constantly drummed into our heads the WC is for our advantage. It is good to be a female in Singapore.
