Winning a Fair Property Division Judgment for an American Client in Korea

Not every international divorce ends through settlement. When an agreement is no longer possible, taking the case to judgment may be the best way to protect a client’s interests.

In this case, we represented an American husband in a contested divorce and property division dispute before the Korean court. The court granted the divorce, dismissed the opposing party’s alimony claim, and awarded our client a favorable property division, requiring the transfer of a one-half ownership interest in the jointly owned property together with a payment of KRW 80 million to complete the division. The judgment provided a clear and final resolution, allowing our client to move forward without further uncertainty.
