[...] also had to face in October 2008, the inequity of which forced her husband to give up his case (see here and here), and which in turn ushered in positive changes in the Korean legal system. Here’s [...]

1. He abused her when she was pregnant and cheated on her with his current wife then mistress.

2. He gave his up children in exchange for MONEY for his debts.

3. IF he wanted to be a good father, why hasn’t he visited his children during the past years when their mother was still alive?

Korean society really needs to get it together. WTF is this ish about the rights of the children going to the father if the sole caretaker passed away? Why hasn’t Korea addressed the issue of domestic violence and deadbeats fathers?

If he really and truly loved his children, he should have work something out with the family in order to see his children (Monitored visitation) and not made this all about money which was the first thing out of his month. Her body wasn’t cold yet and he comes out with statement stating he’s going to fight for property rights and custody of his children. Give me a freaking break.

I do think the most the father should get is monitored visitation rights. They guy seems to have a past of physical abuse and he sold his rights to the kids. Those are 2 unforgivable factors in my book. I mean the eldest kid looks to be around 7 or so if he has not seen the kids from five years then they probably hardly know him.

choi’s children should be in the custody of her brother and mother. he beat hi swife, isn’t there a more likely chance that he’ll beat up the children as well? also he doesn’t need custody of his children just to be be a better father. If he truly cares, he would give up his parental rights of his children to someone who can devote their time and effort into raising the two kids.

[...] has a nice summary of the current situation regarding the fight between Choi’s mother and ex-husband over who will raise her children. [...]
