The Client Who Was Sued for Divorce
This is the client's account as understood by the Seocho attorney.
The client had two children after marriage and was living with them.
However, even after the children were born, the spouse did not take care of the family and repeatedly engaged in infidelity.
The client made efforts for a long time so that the family could live in harmony, but the spouse's conduct did not change.

2. Divorce Procedures Explained by the Seocho Divorce Litigation Attorney

The client of the Seocho divorce litigation attorney was facing a judicial divorce procedure after a divorce lawsuit had been filed against her by her spouse and a divorce by conciliation had broken down.
Aside from this, divorce also includes divorce by agreement and divorce by conciliation, and where those procedures break down, a person may divorce through a judicial divorce, as in the client's case.
Where the spouses have the intention to divorce and the divorcing parties amicably agree on all matters such as child custody, division of marital property, and consolation money, file for divorce with the court, and obtain confirmation, thereby reaching a divorce
Where, before proceeding with divorce litigation, the detailed matters of the divorce are conciliated under the auspices of the family court, leading to a divorce
Where both divorce by agreement and divorce by conciliation have broken down, a divorce lawsuit is filed with the court and the divorce is reached through a judgment
If You Are Proceeding With Judicial Divorce
If matters reach the point of a 🔗judicial divorce proceeding, one must prove a clear ground attributable to one of the spouses, and must assert this through appropriate evidence and pleading.
Examples of grounds on which a judicial divorce is possible
▶ When a spouse has maliciously deserted the other
▶ When one has been gravely and unfairly treated by a spouse or the spouse's lineal ascendant
▶ When one's own lineal ascendant has been gravely and unfairly treated by a spouse
▶ When the life or death of a spouse has been unknown for 3 years or more
▶ When there is any other serious cause making it difficult to continue the marriage
3. Assistance Provided by the Seocho Divorce Litigation Attorney
The Seocho divorce litigation attorney conducted a detailed interview with the client and then collected evidence that could work favorably in the divorce litigation and presented the defense.
Seocho Attorney's Argument ① The Spouse's Violent Behavior
The spouse had displayed conduct such as verbal abuse and violence toward the client throughout their marriage, and would even break objects when angry.
The client had even received hospital treatment as a result of the spouse's assault.
The Seocho attorney submitted evidence capable of proving the spouse's violent tendencies and argued that the spouse was a serious cause of the breakdown of the marriage.
Seocho Attorney's Argument ② The Spouse's Infidelity
In addition, the spouse committed infidelity, such as meeting another partner, while the client devoted herself to childcare and family life.
Even after this was discovered by the client, the spouse continued the act of infidelity.
The Seocho attorney took issue with the spouse's brazen attitude and emphasized that the spouse had betrayed the trust between the couple.
Seocho Attorney's Argument ③ Unfair Treatment by the Spouse's Family
The spouse's mother also engaged in unfair treatment, blindly blaming the client whenever a family problem arose.
She even criticized the client, who had nothing to do with it, when the spouse was booked for committing drunk driving.
The Seocho attorney submitted as evidence the text messages and conversation records the client had received, and argued that the client had also been subjected to severely unfair treatment by the spouse's family.
