Family law cases such as divorce and inheritance are classified as complex areas because additional dispute resolution is often required even after the judgment is finalized, mainly due to most assets being concentrated in real estate. It is common for disputes to remain unresolved, such as when a spouse in a divorce case has no cash other than real estate and must pay property division money, or when inheritance cases require enforcement of inheritance shares related to real estate.

The law firm Juhan is recognized as a mid-sized firm with extensive experience in resolving about 4,000 disputes by providing one-stop legal services not only for the main litigation in family law cases but also for real estate enforcement.

The Divorce and Inheritance Team is led by Chief Attorney Hong Seung-hoon and consists of attorneys Song Deuk-beom, Jung Eun-joo, Park Hye-jun, Yoo Eun-bin, Lee Soo-won, and Geum Young-eun. For each case, three attorneys are assigned to handle the matter.

The Divorce and Inheritance Team has represented clients in a wide range of family law cases, including divorce and property division cases, claims for damages against third parties, custody changes and child support claims, inheritance property division cases, and claims for statutory share returns. They also extensively handle real estate disputes related to family law cases, such as partition lawsuits of co-owned property, auction applications, and collection procedures.

Recently, the firm recruited a licensed real estate agent to also handle brokerage for the sale of shared property subject to division. Since most assets consist of real estate, the goal is to provide legal services that enable payment of property division money from the sale proceeds. For high-value buildings and luxury apartments, the firm plans to conduct sales through exclusive brokerage contracts without legal defects, directly manage the sale proceeds, and complete the enforcement of property division payments.

Chief Attorney Hong stated, "Most family law cases involving property division in divorce or enforcement of inheritance shares are related to real estate. When a client must sell real estate to pay property division money, we resolve funding issues through prompt brokerage. Conversely, if a client is not receiving property division money, we proceed with post-judgment processes such as auction applications and collection procedures against the opposing party's real estate. We plan to provide continuous legal services until family law cases are fully resolved."

Collaboration with the Construction and Real Estate Team, which handles redevelopment and reconstruction litigation, also plays a significant role in providing one-stop legal services. Led by Attorney Song, a specialist in redevelopment and reconstruction, the Construction and Real Estate Team handles all aspects of construction and real estate, including redevelopment and reconstruction associations, local housing associations, remodeling housing associations, collective building reconstruction committees, officetel residents' representative meetings, residential lodging facility purchasers' committees, and real estate project financing.

The Construction and Real Estate Team has successfully secured favorable outcomes by advising on the division plans for reconstruction real estate subject to property division disputes raised by the Divorce and Inheritance Team. They also provide consultation and litigation services regarding the preservation of building rights within land compensation zones maintained after divorce, working organically with the Divorce and Inheritance Team to meet clients' needs.
