Yul-hee, a former member of the group La Boum, started a difficult legal dispute.

Lawyer Cho In-seop and lawyer Soyeon Kim looked into Yul-hee and her ex-husband FT Island Choi Min-hwan's lawsuits for changing custody, alimony, and property division on YTN radio that aired on the 11th.

First of all, there is a lot of room for dispute over custody litigation. Attorney Kim "Currently, Choi Min-hwan has been raising three children for nearly a year and his mother is raising them as assistants. The court tends to value whether it is possible to maintain the child's parenting environment,' lawyer Cho In-seop said. `When we divorce by agreement, parental rights have already been decided on the father's side. The court places a lot of importance on the will to raise parents. I think that the part that was given up upon consultation divorce is unfavorable to Yul-hee. Adjustment of parental custody may not be easy."



However, if Choi Min-hwan is punished for sex crimes such as prostitution, it could be a favorable factor for Yul-hee. Attorney Kim explained that `because it is related to the welfare of children, it may also affect custody.'

However, lawyer Cho In-seop "The sex trade part is favorable to Yul-hee, but it is difficult to say that this alone completely determines parental rights custody." responded meekly.

Nevertheless, if custody was handed over to Yul-hee, Choi Min-hwan also drew attention to how much child support would be paid.

Yul-hee previously said "When the divorce came out, (Choi Min-hwan's side) said 50 million won and 2 million won per month for child support." In reality, he said, "Sound to die" and explained the reason for giving up custody. After that, the two decided not to pay child support to Choi Min-hwan, but not to receive property division and alimony.



Lawyer Soyeon Kim has a reference table for calculating child support expenses. The income of both parties is summed and shared according to the income ratio from the amount corresponding to the age range of each child. Currently, it is difficult to mention a specific amount because we do not know our income. Even those who do not currently have any income are supposed to pay a minimum of about 300,000 won", he explained.

In addition, the division of property can be claimed within two years from the date of divorce, but as it is known, it may not be changed if there was a clear verbal agreement that '0 won was given. If the oral agreement is not recognized, the contribution to property formation will also affect it,' he added.

Yulhee married Choi Min-hwan in 2018 and had one son and two daughters, but divorced last year. Choi Min-hwan will have custody of the three children. However, the situation was overturned last month when Yul-hee revealed that Choi Min-hwan had sexually harassed her while she was married. Choi Min-hwan dropped out of KBS2 'Superman is Back' and suspended his FT Island activities.
