I need a divorce consultation. My husband keeps hitting my mother.

Is there an attorney available for a divorce consultation? From one day on, my husband started hitting my mother, and no matter how much I try to stop him, he will not listen to me. I feel that if I recklessly ask for a divorce, my life could be in danger, so I cannot even bring it up. In a situation like this, what should I do to divorce safely? Please help me.

Hello. This is a divorce attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

I see that you need a divorce consultation because your husband keeps assaulting your mother.

Under Article 840 of the Civil Act, if your lineal ascendant has received grossly unfair treatment from your spouse, you can file a divorce lawsuit.

Here, grossly unfair treatment means that one's lineal ascendant suffers assault, abuse, or insult from the spouse to a degree that makes it painful to continue the marital relationship.

In your situation, it appears necessary to proceed with the divorce lawsuit safely and promptly.

In addition, this appears to be a matter in which a criminal complaint for domestic violence is also possible, and at Daeryun Law LLC, the security center, divorce attorneys, criminal attorneys, and civil attorneys can collaborate to provide assistance.

The security center will ensure your safety from your husband, a divorce attorney will represent you throughout the divorce lawsuit process, a criminal attorney will handle the complaint for the crime of assault, and a civil attorney will handle the claim for compensation for psychological harm, thereby providing a one-stop legal service.

If you wish to promptly take the divorce procedure for the sake of yourself and your mother, we recommend that you request a divorce consultation so that the situation can be understood in detail.
