The client was legally married to the debtor spouse and had one child. For approximately 20 years, while the client was primarily responsible for childcare, the client suffered continued mistreatment including severe verbal abuse, abusive language, and economic neglect. The living expenses provided by the debtor were far from sufficient to maintain the household, and the client even had to use personal funds to avoid further verbal abuse. These circumstances made continuation of the marriage impossible and led to a divorce claim.
Taelim??s attorneys proved the debtor spouse??s responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage by presenting evidence of approximately 18 years of verbal abuse, obsessive suspicion, inappropriate relationships with others, and other mistreatment. Anticipating the risk that the debtor might conceal assets during the litigation, Taelim promptly filed for provisional attachment over real estate owned by the debtor, identifying the client??s property division claim and consolation-money claim as the preserved claims.
The court recognized the need to preserve the client??s claims for consolation money and property division and granted the provisional attachment over the debtor??s real estate in full.
This case is an important example in which the need to preserve property rights was judicially recognized during divorce proceedings arising from long-term emotional and economic exploitation by a spouse. Through the provisional attachment order, the court helped prevent concealment of assets by the spouse responsible for the marital breakdown and created a foundation for the client to secure legitimate claims for consolation money and property division.
