■ Case Overview
The client (plaintiff) had been raising their child alone, experiencing significant economic and psychological hardship. Having endured this sole responsibility until the child reached their teenage years, the client sought out Law Firm Theo to secure the child's legal rights, designate parental rights and custody, and claim unpaid past child support as well as future child support from the opposing party (defendant).
The attorney in charge at Law Firm Theo deeply empathized with the client's struggles of raising a child single-handedly and strongly pressured the opposing party regarding the necessity of acknowledging paternity and paying child support. The opposing party also appointed legal representation to mount a defense. However, Theo’s legal team employed meticulous legal strategies to fundamentally block any attempts by the opposing party to evade child support responsibilities or unjustly lower the amount. While not all specific litigation tactics can be disclosed, the team thoroughly collected and analyzed objective data advantageous for calculating child support, thereby gaining the upper hand during the mediation process. Notably, amidst fierce legal battles, the team maintained control and demonstrated outstanding negotiation skills to secure the most favorable agreement for the client.
As a result of Theo's overwhelming assistance, the client achieved the optimal outcome through the court's mediation date.
- Acknowledgment of Paternity and Designation of Custodian: The opposing party officially acknowledged the child as their biological offspring, and the client was designated as the sole person with parental rights and custody.
- Secured 48 Million KRW in Past Child Support: A total of 48 million KRW was recognized for the past child support the client bore alone. A provision for the forfeiture of the benefit of time was perfectly inserted, imposing a powerful 12% annual delay damage penalty if the opposing party delays payment twice or more, creating a safety net for secure payments.
- Secured 800,000 KRW in Monthly Future Child Support: A regular monthly payment of 800,000 KRW for future child support was secured until the month the child reaches adulthood.
