Wonju Divorce Attorney Assistance | The Client Who Was Sued for Divorce, the Plaintiff's Claim Dismissed
The client consulted the Wonju divorce attorney to respond after being sued for divorce by a spouse, and consulted the divorce attorney at the Wonju office.
1. How the Client Came to Consult the Wonju Divorce Attorney
The client, who consulted the Wonju divorce attorney, had been sued for divorce but had no intention of divorcing, and so visited the Wonju office to defend against the lawsuit.
The Client Who Requested Assistance From the Wonju Divorce Attorney
This is the account of a client who requested assistance from the Wonju divorce attorney.
The client married a spouse about ten years ago and was raising a family with a minor child.
Because the client's child had ADHD, the client had disciplined the child strictly.
The spouse became dissatisfied with the client's parenting approach and ultimately chose to live separately.
In the meantime, the client received a divorce complaint from the spouse, containing matters such as the division of marital property and the designation of the right of custody.
However, the client, who had no intention of divorcing at all, came to the Wonju divorce attorney and requested assistance in order to defend against the lawsuit.
2. Divorce, as Explained by the Wonju Divorce Attorney
If it is difficult to continue married life, there are grounds on which a divorce may be obtained through a trial.
These are provided in Article 840 of the Civil Act, and the grounds for judicial divorce are as follows.
2. If the spouse has maliciously deserted the other
3. If one has been grievously and unjustly treated by the spouse or the spouse's lineal ascendant
4. If one's own lineal ascendant has been grievously and unjustly treated by the spouse
5. If it has been unclear for three years or more whether the spouse is alive or dead
6. If there is any other serious cause that makes it difficult to continue the marriage
Judicial Divorce Procedure
A divorce lawsuit proceeds when conciliation divorce breaks down, and it begins in earnest after the divorce complaint is filed and the conciliation procedure has been completed.
Because the parties' positions may conflict or a battle of logic may arise, it is advantageous to respond strategically with the assistance of an attorney.
The divorce lawsuit procedure is as follows.
3. The Assistance Provided by the Wonju Divorce Attorney
After conducting a consultation with the client, the Wonju divorce attorney formed a task force together with an attorney experienced in divorce cases.
The attorney then established a systematic strategy and requested that the plaintiff's claim be dismissed on the following grounds.
Wonju Divorce Attorney's Argument ① | The Client's Intention
The client expressed the intention not to divorce the plaintiff and wishes to keep the family together.
Until recently, the client steadily kept in contact with the plaintiff's parents and regularly visited the home where the parties were living separately in order to see the plaintiff and the child.
The attorney emphasized that the client had never treated the plaintiff as a stranger, and that, although the parties were living apart, the separation was not because the marital relationship had deteriorated.
Wonju Divorce Attorney's Argument ② | The Cause of the Marital Breakdown
The plaintiff took issue with the client's parenting conduct as child abuse and argued that it was the cause of the marital breakdown, but the client did not discipline the child to a degree that could be regarded as child abuse.
The cause of the marital breakdown lies, rather, with the plaintiff, and the plaintiff also expanded the discord by refusing dialogue itself with the client and forcing the plaintiff's own views.
Accordingly, the attorney emphasized that, even if the marital relationship is recognized as having broken down, the responsibility for that breakdown lies more with the plaintiff than with the client.
4. Result of the Wonju Divorce Attorney's Assistance, “The Plaintiff's Claim Dismissed”
The court, accepting the Wonju divorce attorney's argument, issued the decision: “The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.”
