Even if both parties agree on the divorce, an uncontested divorce requires at least two court appearances. Furthermore, there is a mandatory deliberation period of three months if you have children and one month if you do not.
Even with a notarized agreement on the division of assets, a separate lawsuit is required if the other party fails to comply. More complicated issues can arise after the divorce if agreements regarding pension division or child visitation rights are improperly or insufficiently negotiated.
Particularly for foreign nationals, poorly negotiated agreements can lead to problems with their residency visa in Korea.

We can also handle the division of assets, pensions, and other matters all at once to prevent future legal issues.
