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'.
