면접교섭권에 관한 절차적 문제점과 최근의 동향

In a traditional discussion, a visitation right belongs to the parent who does not live with his/her child after the parentsʼ divorce. This right is for benefit of the child, because regular meeting between the parent and child can cure them of the feeling of parent-loss and the child could grow up to be a person without personal defects. But in the process the subject of the right is the parent to the end, and the child is nothing but an object. One day of the year 2006, the Ministry of Justice has issued a reform bill to invest the child the right to request visitation according to some opinion to consolidate the position of the child in the process of visitation by admitting the right. The bill is still pending in the National Assembly. But, from the point of procedural view, there are several problems. And I would like to say “No” to the bill.
