Bucheon Legal Consultation Assistance | A Bucheon Attorney Succeeds in an Adoption Despite the Lack of the Biological Father's Consent

The client who requested a Bucheon legal consultation had raised their spouse's son, born out of wedlock, since he was young.

The client's spouse, unable to endure the biological father's violent disposition during their marriage, divorced him just one month after the child was born.

After remarrying the client, the client raised the young son together with their wife and lived as one family.

However, they still were not in a legal parent-child relationship.

Having formed a deep bond of trust over a long time together as family, the client decided to proceed with adoption procedures, including changing the son's surname and origin, in order to be legally recognized as a parent-child relationship at last.

However, in a situation where the biological father's consent was required, the biological father was out of contact, and, as confirmed in the judgment at the time of the divorce, he had shown a violent and irresponsible disposition, making it difficult even to hear his opinion.

Accordingly, the client requested a consultation to resolve the matter with the help of a Bucheon attorney.

The Bucheon attorney who handled the consultation analyzed the following points in the client's case, established the legal grounds, and presented the arguments below.

Through the consultation, on the basis of the systematic and logical arguments prepared by the Bucheon attorney, the court substituted for the biological father's consent and granted the client's petition to adopt an adult.

As a result, the client was legally recognized as being in a father-son relationship with his son, and it became possible to change the son's surname and family origin.

The family shared great joy that a long-held wish had been fulfilled, and the client expressed deep gratitude to the Bucheon attorney for successfully resolving the family matter.
