Hello. I am currently considering the dissolution of a full adoption. I would like to know what the conditions for the dissolution of a full adoption are, and how the legal procedures for carrying out the dissolution are conducted. I would also like to know about the documents needed to apply for the dissolution of a full adoption and the points requiring caution. If there is a relevant expert, I would appreciate an answer.

To proceed with the dissolution of a full adoption, there must be a specific ground recognized by law.
A dissolution may be claimed mainly where the adoptive parents have abused or neglected the fully adopted child, or where the relationship between the fully adopted child and the adoptive parents has become irreparable.
The grounds for dissolution of an ordinary adoption by agreement or by judicial proceedings do not apply to the dissolution of a full adoption.
If you proceed with the dissolution of a full adoption, the court examines whether the dissolution is appropriate, giving the highest priority to the welfare of the fully adopted child .
For example, even if the adoptive parents have engaged in outrageous misconduct, the court will closely examine whether the dissolution is appropriate for the welfare of the fully adopted child.
In addition, once a judgment for the dissolution of a full adoption becomes final, the relationship between the fully adopted child and the adoptive parents and their relatives is extinguished.
After the dissolution procedure is completed, you must take the final written judgment received from the court and report the dissolution within one month.
When filing the report, you must submit a report stating information related to the date the judgment became final as well as the names and resident registration numbers of the parties.
Because the dissolution of a full adoption involves complex legal procedures, it is advisable to consult an expert.
