After Taking Advantage of Defective Statements by the Counterparty to Win Custody, Yi Yi and Yuhang Chen Receive a Banner from the Client

On June 21st, Ms. Liu visited Jiali Law Firm all the way from City A and presented lawyers Yi Yi and Yuhang Chen with a banner reading, “You are Capable, We are Grateful”.

According to the acquired information, Ms. Liu was a party to a divorce case represented by lawyers Yi Yi and Yuhang Chen. She was married to her husband for many years and they had a 5-year-old daughter. Ms. Liu and her husband had escalating conflicts because the parents of the husband were intervening too much. As a consequence, Ms. Liu decided to get divorced and hoped to win custody of her daughter.

In this case, as Ms. Liu did not have local household registration in Beijing, she intended to return to her hometown City A after the divorce. However, the husband was better off than her in terms of economic conditions as he owned a house in a school district (near a major primary school in Beijing). Therefore, Ms. Liu was in a relatively disadvantageous position in pursuing custody of her daughter.

After accepting the entrustment, lawyers Yi and Chen carefully reviewed all the materials related to the case. Due to long-standing conflicts and several fierce disputes between Ms. Liu and her husband and his parents after filing the divorce lawsuit, mediation seemed impossible. Therefore, in order to help Ms. Liu win custody of her daughter, the two lawyers made a detailed list of evidence to be collected, and visited City A several times to investigate and collect evidence. By virtue of the above efforts, they prepared sufficient evidence to prove that the child was cared for by Ms. Liu and her parents for most of the time, and that the child already had a relatively stable living environment in City A.

In the meantime, the two lawyers took full advantage of the following statement made by the husband’s mother in court: “It is true that I have rarely taken care of the child.” Emphasising this point and presenting detailed evidence, the lawyers argued in front of the judge that “it would be better for the growth of the child if our party has custody.”

Finally, lawyers Yi and Chen helped Ms. Liu win custody of her 5-year-old daughter, and the husband would pay child support of over 30% of his salary. After two years, the first and second instances were successfully concluded.

After the judgement of the second instance went into effect, Ms. Liu and her family came to Jiali Law Firm all the way from her hometown and presented the two lawyers with a specially-made banner to thank them for their efforts in helping them to resolve the divorce dispute. According to Ms. Liu, having found a new job, she had already started a new life in City A, and everything was going well for her daughter under the care of her parents; without the dedicated services and warm company of the two lawyers during the case, it would not have been possible for her to enjoy this hopeful and happy new life.

Lawyers Yi Yi and Yuhang Chen are dedicated experts in legal services concerning marriage and family relations. As Chen said, “When dealing with marriage and family lawsuits, you should be equipped not only with professional legal knowledge, but also benevolence. For the lawyers of Jiali Law Firm, it is more than success to see a client wave goodbye to the pain of the past and confidently embrace a hopeful new life.” Jiali lawyers are willing to keep their clients company, face the frustrations of marriage together, overcome difficulties and pursue the happiness of “family relationships”.
