1. Case Background: 15 Years of Separation π
The plaintiff (wife) began living separately with her children around 2008, disappointed by the defendant's (husband's) irresponsible behavior as a father, even while their second child was hospitalized. For approximately 15 years until the judgment, the plaintiff raised their two children alone without the husband's help.
2. Key to the Judgment: Why 'β©100 Million'? π§
The court clearly stated that the defendant had an obligation to pay child support as the children's father.
-
Payment Period: The entire period from June 2008, when the separation began, to November 2023, just before the judgment was rendered, was calculated.
-
Adult Children Included: Although the first child became an adult during the lawsuit, the court retroactively calculated the child support that was not paid when they were a minor.
-
Amount Determined: Considering the child support calculation standards of the Seoul Family Court, the defendant's financial ability, and the long period of 15 years, the court ruled that the defendant should pay a total of β©100,000,000 (100 million won) in past child support.
3. A Problem Solver's Word: Don't Give Up on Past Child Support! π‘
Many people worry, "Can I receive child support now for the years that have already passed?" However, as in this case, child support from the past, even over 10 years ago, can be legitimately claimed through legal procedures.
Key Points:
-
The longer the separation period, the larger the total amount of past child support that can be claimed. 2. Even if the child is already an adult, child support that was not received during their minority can be claimed retroactively.
-
If the other party has assets or income, it is an opportunity to secure a large sum as a lump sum payment.
