Proposal about Estimating reasonable Cost of bringing up a child

&nbsp;&nbsp;Having a divorce rate in Korea increased rapidly since 90’s, child custody after divorce has become the most important problems solved as soon as possible. Thus, the most frequently discussed subjects connected with child custody are who has this and how much non custodial parent is to pay for cost of bringing up child. In connection with that, the Korean Civil Code provides that child custody must be decided by deliberation on children’s age and parent’s financial status(§837, Ⅰ).<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;However, there are no concrete standards with which the cost of bringing up a child is to be estimated. Thus, how much is reasonable cost of bringing up a child and what is to be considered to estimate it are major discussed subjects connected with that. Concretely, it is to think over demand which is needed for child and non custodial parent’s payment ability to estimate reasonable expense for child custody. Furthermore, the difference between non custodial parent’s condition and custodial parent’s one under the circumstance of labor market is also to be deliberated. However, there is no such a standpoint that it is to consider that women have more discrimination in labor market, when reasonable cost of bring up a child is to estimate. This paper refers to such a problem.
