Practice Areas

Divorce (domestic and international)

Korea's high divorce rate has long been treated as a serious social issue. As divorce has become common, many no longer see it as a blemish on a person's life; at the same time, divorce leaves many legal questions to settle — child rearing and property division among them — and so calls for more careful handling than almost any other legal matter.

We provide legal support across the full range — uncontested divorce, mediated divorce, and contested divorce.

Adultery suits (evidence gathering)

Not everyone thinks of divorce simply because a spouse has been unfaithful. For the children and other reasons, some choose, through tears, to keep the marriage. Even so, most people still want the third party who threatened the peace of their marriage to be held to account.

An adultery suit holds the third party who was unfaithful with your spouse liable in tort. Seoksang assists step by step, starting from the evidence-gathering stage.

Inheritance

Death is something no one can avoid. When a person dies, inheritance arises as a legal matter. Inheritance means that, from the moment the succession opens (the decedent's death), the comprehensive rights and obligations concerning the decedent's property — excluding rights personal to them — pass to the heirs.

Who counts as an heir is sometimes disputed, and depending on the decedent's debts and their own financial position, an heir must choose one of three positions toward the estate: simple acceptance, qualified acceptance, or renunciation. Beyond that, claims among heirs to their rightful share — partition proceedings, contributory shares, and statutory reserved portions — frequently become the legal battleground.
