Hello, I am Attorney Seo Yuri. π€
In divorce proceedings involving dual-income couples, the most critical issues are determining the contribution rate to jointly accumulated assets and deciding who will have custody of the children. Today, I would like to introduce a successful case where we filed a counterclaim against the opposing party's (plaintiff's) divorce claim, resulting in a substantial property division settlement and securing custody of the client's precious child. βοΈ
1. Case Overview π
-
Situation: A legally married couple since 2018, with a young child, experienced conflicts due to personality differences and financial issues, leading to separation.
-
Issues:
-
Designation of parental rights and custody of the child.
-
Division of real estate and financial assets jointly accumulated during the marriage.
-
Claim for past and future child support payments.
-
2. Attorney Seo Yuri's Assistance and Strategy π‘
As the representative for the defendant (counterclaim plaintiff), we focused on emphasizing the client's deep emotional bond with the child and the dedicated nurturing environment, while legally proving the client's contribution to the asset formation.
-
Custody Protection: We aimed to secure custody by proving that the child was young (4 years old at the time), the defendant had been stably raising the child alone since the separation, and there was a strong emotional bond.
-
Proof of Contribution to Property Division: We meticulously identified the plaintiff's assets, including apartment sale proceeds and security deposits, and actively argued that the defendant contributed to the maintenance of assets by balancing housework, childcare, and economic activities as a dual-income couple.
-
Securing Child Support: We emphasized the need for the plaintiff to pay a certain amount or more of future child support each month for the child's welfare.
3. Court Ruling β
The Seoul Family Court accepted the defendant's representative's arguments and ruled as follows:
-
Securing Parental Rights and Custody: Designated the defendant as the parent with parental rights and custody, considering the child's emotional stability and welfare.
-
Victory in Property Division: Obtained a ruling to receive KRW 285,400,000 in cash and transfer of car ownership from the plaintiff.
-
Child Support Determination: Ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant KRW 1,000,000 per month in child support until the child reaches adulthood.
-
Appellate Court Result: Dismissed all of the plaintiff's appeals, confirming the defendant's victory.
Conclusion: Divorce Litigation Requires Strategic Response for Your Children and Future πΉ
This case is an example of protecting the custody of a child between dual-income couples while rightfully acknowledging the defendant's rights to jointly owned property. The key to property division is how to prove the actual contribution rather than the nominal ownership.
