After the divorce, a mother who took custody of her 6-year-old son heard that her husband was bringing his girlfriend home for a drink, and wanted to bring the child.

On the 24th, YTN’s ‘Attorney Jo In-seop’s Counseling Center’ introduced the story of Mr. A, who said that after a divorce, her husband is raising her 6-year-old son and her 2-year-old son is raising her.

Mr. A said, “I wanted to raise both children, but I couldn’t help it because my husband said he would never divorce me unless I gave up custody of the first child.” After thinking about it, we went our separate ways.”

But the eldest child I hadn’t seen in a long time didn’t seem all right. When Mr. A asked what was going on, the child confessed, “Her father brings her girlfriend home and they drink late into the night.”

Mr. A said, “My husband has a habit of drinking until the film ends. I became anxious thinking about a child who would be left alone until late at night,” he said.

“My mother-in-law mainly took care of the children, but she said she cursed a lot. She even called the daycare teacher and verbally abused her.” “Currently, her oldest child is adamantly refusing to live with her father, and she wants to be with her mother. Is there any way I can get all of her custody and custody of her older child?” she asked.

Attorney Moon Ji-young said, “In the case of a change in custody, the parents can agree to change it, but the court’s permission is required for parental rights.” ” he advised.

When considering who has parental authority and who has custody, the most important thing is the ‘welfare of the child’. It must be clear that (being raised by the current caretaker) does not help, but rather hinders, the healthy growth and welfare of the minor child, or that changing the caregiver is more in line with the welfare of the minor child.

Attorney Moon said, “In the case of infants and young children, counseling procedures such as investigations on the nurturing environment and adjustment measures are conducted.” In the case of the storyteller, you can mention this and emphasize the need to change the custody holder.”
