I became unemployed. Do I not have to pay child support?

Even if you lose your job, your obligation to pay child support does not disappear.
However, since there is a change in circumstances such as economic capacity,
Submit a child support modification trial to the family court requesting a reduction in child support.
If you file a claim and the court approves it, a partial reduction may be paid.

In other words, if the circumstances of the party paying child support worsens, child support may be reduced.
It is possible to file a claim, and on the other hand, you may have more financial resources or pay your child's tuition.
If it increases further, it is also possible to request an increase.
However, reducing child support is not a decision that is conducive to the welfare of the child.
A strict decision will be made taking into account various circumstances.

This is a procedure in accordance with Korean law. For foreigners, detailed procedures may vary.
Please chat or email for specific details.
