Suwon Divorce Attorney | A Case in Which the Full Amount of Child Support Was Recovered With the Assistance of a Suwon Divorce Attorney

About four to five years ago, the client obtained an uncontested divorce from her husband for various reasons, including differences in personality.

Fortunately, the client obtained parental authority and the right of custody, and it was also agreed that she would receive child support.

The problem was that, after the divorce, the husband never paid child support even once.

Naturally, as the child grew, the client's financial burden only increased.

The client requested assistance from the Suwon attorney at Daeryun in order to claim, through litigation, both the past child support that had not been paid and future child support.

■ Parental Authority, the Right of Custody, and Child Support for a Minor Child

• Divorce and Responsibility for the Custody of a Child (Civil Act, Article 837)

(1) The parties shall determine the matters concerning the custody of the child by agreement.

(2) The agreement under paragraph (1) shall include the following matters.

1. Determination of the person responsible for custody

2. Bearing of the costs of custody

3. Whether to exercise the right of visitation and the method thereof

(3) If the agreement under paragraph (1) is contrary to the welfare of the child, the Family Court may order its correction or, on its own authority, determine the matters necessary for custody, taking into account the will and age of the child, the financial situation of the parents, and other circumstances.

(4) If no agreement on the matters concerning custody is reached or such agreement cannot be reached, the Family Court shall determine these matters on its own authority or upon the request of a party. In such cases, the Family Court shall take into account the circumstances under paragraph (3).

(5) If the Family Court deems it necessary for the welfare of the child, it may, upon the request of the father, mother, child, or prosecutor, or on its own authority, change the matters concerning the custody of the child or take other appropriate measures.

(6) The provisions of paragraphs (3) through (5) shall not bring about any change in the rights and duties of the parents other than the matters concerning custody.

※ Parents have a joint responsibility to raise their child, and the costs of custody must, in principle, be borne jointly by the parents. If, for any reason, only one of the parents comes to raise the child, the parent who raises the child may claim from the other parent an appropriate share of the present and future child support.

As the Suwon divorce attorney confirmed, the opposing party has relatively greater financial means because he earns monthly employment income.

The attorney emphasized that the fact that the opposing party had not paid even once after the divorce, despite being in a position to pay child support sufficiently, was a very significant point.

In addition, the attorney argued that the opposing party had avoided payment and refused to respond to contact.

As the Suwon divorce attorney understood it, the claimant is currently raising two children, an elementary school student and a middle school student, on her own.

It is unmanageable for the claimant to live with her two children on her income alone.

The attorney clearly argued that, without child support, the custody environment would become difficult and the harm would ultimately extend to the children.

The case above, which the Suwon divorce attorney assisted with, is the story of a client who did not receive child support after her divorce and who successfully claimed past and future child support with the assistance of the Suwon divorce attorney.
