■ Background: The Social Issue of the 'Information Gap' Surrounding Divorce
Around 180,000 couples divorce every year in Japan. On the other hand, the following problems still exist:
- Cases where child support is not arranged
- Non-payment of child support -> About 70% in Japan do not receive child support
- Agreements made without sufficient legal knowledge
- Prolongation of emotional conflict -> Factors leading to occurrences like child abduction
Divorce is often spoken of as an 'emotional' issue, but in reality, it is a crucial life decision involving 'law', 'money', and 'life planning'. However, in reality, due to reasons such as:
- Psychological and economic hurdles in consulting a lawyer
- Anxiety about not knowing what to look into first
- Judgments based on incorrect information
There are many cases where decisions are made without access to the necessary information. As a result, there can be long-term impacts not only on the parties involved but also on the children and society as a whole.
This seminar is held with the aim of rectifying this 'information gap in divorce'.
