International Divorce Litigation

If you are considering international divorce litigation, you likely have many concerns.

“Will I be expelled from Korea if I get divorced?”, “Because I am a foreigner, will I be unable to take my child with me?”, “Did I just sign documents that I did not even fully understand?”

If these anxieties have made you afraid and led you to silently endure your marriage, you no longer have to worry.

The Foreign Litigation Center is a place dedicated solely to foreign clients who come to us carrying these very concerns about international divorce litigation.

A divorce between Koreans is already complicated, but international divorce litigation, which foreigners face, involves one more issue to consider.

That is the issue of residency status (visa).

When your visa, property, and child-related issues are all at stake at once, you must be careful, because entrusting your case to a firm that only offers consultations in Korean and only understands Korean legal procedures may cause you to lose sight of what matters most.

Daeryun's Foreign Litigation Center not only handles the entire international divorce litigation process on your behalf, but also resolves your visa, the tracing of assets hidden by your spouse, and child custody all in one place.

The Foreign Litigation Center, which handles international divorce litigation, provides sincere, dedicated consultations for clients like these.

Until now, has communicating with Koreans felt daunting without an interpreter, leaving you constantly anxious about whether your account was being conveyed correctly?

Because a single word can change the outcome of a divorce legal consultation, a translation app or an acquaintance's interpretation is not enough.

The Foreign Litigation Center has staff specializing in foreign litigation and attorneys specializing in foreign litigation with whom you can communicate directly in multiple languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

Convey your emotions, your situation, and your requests exactly as they are, and receive accurate updates on the progress every step of the way.

Not only in international divorce litigation, but also in divorce proceedings generally, many people secretly hide assets or transfer assets held overseas and then claim they “have no money.”

In such cases, a foreign spouse who lacks information often takes the other party's claim that they “have no money to give” at face value and gives up on the divorce litigation and property division.

Furthermore, because they hold a different nationality and currently lack sufficient income, they are prone to suffering losses out of fear that they may even lose custody of their child.

However, Korean courts do not render judgments based simply on one's current income or nationality.

Custody is determined by giving top priority to the bond built with the child over time and to the child's happiness—that is, the child's welfare—and hidden assets can likewise be traced to the very end through the court's property inquiry system.

Concretely proving that you helped grow the family's wealth through housework, child-rearing, and economic activity, and thereby securing a fair division of property and alimony, is precisely the work of an international divorce litigation attorney.

We will firmly protect your custody and parental rights over your child and thoroughly put enforcement mechanisms in place so that child support is not left unpaid after the divorce, so the more daunting the moment feels, the more you should proceed with a legal consultation without hesitation.

International divorce litigation is a matter in which the divorce litigation itself, along with the visa, asset tracing, and document notarization (apostille), are all at stake at once.

If you entrust your case to us after a consultation at the Foreign Litigation Center, you will not need to go around researching all of these cumbersome procedures separately.

Daeryun, Korea's 9th-largest law firm (based on 2025 National Tax Service VAT filings), has a one-stop system in which international divorce specialist attorneys, a visa and immigration advisory team, and a multilingual interpretation and translation team move as one team, so you can resolve every issue here at once.

So that you do not have to continue a marriage that is painful and exhausting without love, and can move forward toward a new life, our international divorce litigation experts will help you.
