Mokpo Divorce Consultation | Property Division Reduced by Judgment After Consultation With a Mokpo Divorce Attorney
The client, who requested a Mokpo divorce consultation, faced an excessive property division lawsuit and requested legal consultation from a divorce attorney at the Mokpo branch office of Daeryun Law Firm.
1. What Prompted the Search for a Mokpo Divorce Consultation
The client, who scheduled a Mokpo divorce consultation, received a divorce complaint from the spouse.
The client then came to the Mokpo divorce consultation center of Daeryun Law Firm to obtain advice regarding the divorce litigation.
The Client Who Received a Mokpo Divorce Consultation
The client who received the Mokpo divorce consultation had been in a marriage with the spouse for 30 years.
In the meantime, the spouse left home on the pretext of caring for a granddaughter and then suddenly sent a divorce complaint. Its main content was a claim for consolation money and a claim for division of marital property.
The spouse argued that the grounds for divorce were that the client had committed assault, used abusive language and verbal abuse, and shown disregard and insult toward the spouse,
and that the client had failed to provide living expenses without justifiable reason, thereby shifting responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage onto the client.
The plaintiff claimed a property division ratio of 70% for the plaintiff and 30% for the client,
and because the plaintiff sought registration of transfer of ownership for several pieces of real estate owned by the client, the client received a Mokpo divorce consultation in order to rebut this and then visited the divorce group of Daeryun Law Firm to seek help.

2. A Solution Proposed After the Mokpo Divorce Consultation
After the Mokpo divorce consultation, a task force team of three attorneys was formed, consisting of a divorce attorney suited to the client's situation and attorneys with extensive experience in property division litigation, and they identified the plaintiff's claims regarding the property division ratio and degree of contribution and proceeded with rebuttal arguments. Because a review and appraisal of the real estate that the plaintiff included in the property division were necessary, the legal advice of specialists in the relevant field also aided the case strategy.
The Defense Strategy of Daeryun, a Firm Experienced in Mokpo Divorce Consultations
Daeryun Law Firm, experienced in Mokpo divorce consultations, set out to point out the fact that the plaintiff claimed the client was the spouse at fault for the divorce and sought consolation money, and that the plaintiff included the client's separate property within the scope of property division and thereby expanded that scope,
as well as the fact that the plaintiff excessively inflated the degree of contribution to the household and the conflicting claims regarding the point in time at which the marriage broke down.
Because there was a sharp conflict of interest with the client regarding the overall content of the plaintiff's complaint and written submissions, a careful review by the responsible team was necessary.
● The client did not wish to divorce the plaintiff.
● The client did not subject the plaintiff to grossly unfair treatment and had never committed assault.
● Most of the real estate that the plaintiff included as subject to property division was the defendant's separate property held before the marriage.
● The plaintiff was a person so indifferent to the household that neighborhood residents wrote statements of fact to attest to it.
● The plaintiff made no effort to engage in any economic activity and did not contribute to the household.
● The plaintiff had never contributed to the farming work that the client had been doing, and the claim of a 70% contribution cannot be accepted.
3. From the Mokpo Divorce Consultation to the Outcome of the Divorce
After the Mokpo divorce consultation, a hearing process lasting several months continued until the divorce judgment was rendered. As a result, the client was recognized with a property contribution of 60%, twice the amount claimed, and was able to obtain a reduction in the property division.
