-
Adherence to the Principle of the Guilty Spouse: Based on our court's 'Principle of General Prohibition of Divorce Claims by a Guilty Spouse,' we strongly argued that a spouse who caused the breakdown of the marriage due to their own fault has no right to file for divorce. π‘οΈ

Proof of the Client's Efforts to Restore the Relationship: Highlighted the client's efforts to maintain the marriage by suggesting counseling and caring for the family, proving that the spouse's claims were false.

π‘ A Word from the Attorney
"Divorce is not automatically granted simply because a marital relationship has broken down. The outcome can change by 180 degrees depending on who caused the breakdown, that is, how the 'responsibility for the breakdown' is legally interpreted."
