Once you have decided, you may then proceed to open an application at their office: need to go through Means Testing (income) and Merits Testing (whether you have reasonable grounds to be represented by LAB). The whole application can take up to 6 weeks for processing. Once approved, you will be represented by one of their in-house government lawyers (same standing with AGCs) or a private law firm (Assigned Solicitor). Upon conclusion of case, you will only need to pay up to SGD2000nett for entire case. Installment plans or application fo waiver are available, subject to approval. Most LAB cases are paid via installments.

If you wish to go via private law firms, you may consider some of the recommendations by other Samsters. Imho, the best divorce and/or family lawyers are from PKWA. And also, have to depend on your exact circumstances of your case.
Hope the above helps!
