Study on Divorce Payment

When examining the contents of payments intended to be requested by a divorcee to the person they are divorcing, it is mostly composed of alimony from ① liquidating property, ② living expenses subsequential to the divorce, and ③ mental anguish due to the divorce. Among these contents, ① and ③ proves a definite basis since ① is abided by the claim for dividing property (under Civil Code Article 839-2 and Article 843), ③ is abided by the indemnities claims for mental damages (under Civil Code Article 843, Article 806 clause 2). However, ② does not have a clear legal basis, therefore, the discussion was arranged by the historic precedents and their process of development, or occasionally involved in the alimony or the claim for division of property. However, because alimony and claim for division of property was included for the basis of support payment, it resulted in the problem with having ambiguities in the nature of the claim for division of property or alimony. In this paper, the historical development of the legal regulations related to divorce payments are examined in order to reveal the reasons of indemnities claims or claim for division of property that are the basis for support payment after divorce (II). Then, claims for division of property due to legal divorce are proven to be a system for not of paying support payment but for ‘settlement’ (III. 1.). Also, it reveals that alimony from divorce is based on the fact that it is of a violation of the marriage contract (III. 2.). Based on these points, support payment after divorce is based on the violation of contingent rights for duty of supporting expenses pursuant to the marriage contract, and by revealing that it is based on the indemnities claims (Civil Code Article 843 and Article 806 clause 1) of properties (III. 3.), the basis and range of the three divorce payments are explicated respectively.
