How is the claimed amount calculated in a support payment claim lawsuit?

I am considering a support payment claim lawsuit over a family support issue, but I have no sense of how much I can actually claim. I am curious about how much of the other party's income is reflected and whether I can claim all of my living expenses. I would like to know by what standard the court determines the amount in a support payment claim lawsuit and how far the realistically recognized range extends.

In what cases can a medical dispute lawsuit be pursued?

Hello. I am leaving a question regarding a medical dispute lawsuit. My father underwent surgery this time, and we were clearly informed that there would be no side effects or anything like that. However, not long after the surgery, a side effect occurred. Honestly, it is not an extremely serious side effect, but since we were not informed of it, it was very upsetting from our perspective. In what cases can a medical dispute lawsuit be pursued? Can we also pursue a lawsuit in a case like ours?

I think I have been the victim of semi-jeonse rental fraud. Will I be able to get my deposit back..?

I am a tenant living under a semi-jeonse lease. At the time of the contract, the landlord said there was no problem and I also checked the certified copy of the register, but it turned out that multiple mortgages had already been set on the house, and I heard that the landlord has been unable to properly return the deposits of other tenants either. I am anxious about whether I will be able to get my deposit back after the contract ends... In a case like this, it would count as semi-jeonse rental fraud, right? Is there a sure way to get the deposit back??

I have suffered serious harm due to online posts and comments, so I am considering a civil suit for defamation. The posts at issue were uploaded to social media and online communities, and some have already been deleted or edited.

I would like to know what evidence I must prepare and what points I should be careful about before filing a civil suit for defamation.

If I apply for drunk driving relief, is the sentence unconditionally reduced?

A few days ago, I was caught in a drunk driving check, my license was revoked, and a fine was also imposed..... Everyone says that 'applying for drunk driving relief improves things somewhat,' but can I too receive a reduced sentence unconditionally? There was no accident, and it is my first drunk driving offense. I am curious about whether applying for drunk driving relief definitely has an effect.

Is debt collection through compulsory execution possible?

I have been charged with a public official's abandonment of duty. How should I respond?

Recently, as an external complaint was raised in relation to work I had been in charge of, I heard that a charge of the crime of abandonment of duty could become an issue. There were circumstances in which the work was delayed, but I do not think I deliberately refused or neglected my duties. Nevertheless, I am anxious because I am told it could even lead to criminal liability. I would like to know in what cases a public official's abandonment of duty is established, what becomes the issue in an actual investigation, and how I should respond in the investigation or disciplinary procedure.

Relief for financial fraud victims: is handling it alone sufficient?

I was a victim of financial fraud, and I heard that in many cases the matter is not resolved merely by applying for a payment suspension and filing a report. . . . . To what extent can I carry out this financial fraud victim relief process on my own?

Are there points to be careful about when carrying out a divisional merger?

Our company is considering a divisional merger, and although I had thought it was simply a procedure for dividing or combining companies, I heard that there are more things to consider than I expected.
