<Anchor> After a

divorce, a woman in her 60s who had not been obliged to raise children for over 30 years died when her daughter, who became a firefighter, died. The ex-husband who raised the children alone filed a lawsuit, and the ruling was ordered to pay 70 million won for child support to the birth mother who took about 80 million won.

Kang Mo, a firefighter, made an extreme choice in January of last year due to work stress.

The employee's pension agency paid 80 million won to Kang's father, including survivors' salary, because his job was recognized.

Under the Inheritance Law, Kang's mother, who divorced 32 years ago, received the same amount.


[Soonji firefighter sister: The mother who gave birth to a child did not come to the funeral home. I was in the first grade or the second grade in elementary school. I came to school. At that time, my mother's appearance was the last.]

Mr. Kang's mother never gave support to her daughters after divorce.

Mr. Kang's father filed a lawsuit to claim that his ex-wife is now unfair to receive her daughter's net compensation.

Kang's mother pleaded that she was unable to raise the child because her ex-husband had blocked contact with her daughters, but the judge judged that the mother had not fulfilled her child-sharing obligations.

At the same time, he ruled that 70 million won, similar to the amount received by Kang's mother, should be paid to the ex-husband as support money.

[Kang Shin-mu/Attorney (Mr. Kang's father, attorney): There is a phrase'considering the circumstances that resulted in the payment of a surviving survivor's pension'. (The Tribunal) seems to have decided the amount of support in this regard.] In the

20th National Assembly, the so-called'Gahhara Act', which prevented parents who neglected child-rearing obligations from inheriting their child's property, was supposed to be disposed of. The voice to promote is growing.
