The court has finally made its decision with the lawsuit filed by late Goo Hara s father against her birth mother.
The court took the side of Goo Hara s father and he has partially won the lawsuit against her birth mother. The lawsuit was for the child support that her birth mother failed to provide.
The Gwangju Family Court ruled in favor of the father partially, regarding the lawsuit that was filed way back July 2020. It was revealed that Goo Hara s mother had failed to attend the court hearing and just sent her lawyer to go instead. Goo Hara s father was always present in attending the trials.
Goo Ho-In a lawyer
Noh Jong Un revealed that the court had decided that Hara s mother had not contributed to raising Hara, and that Hara s brother and the other family that she left behind should receive some of her estate for raising her. Becuase of this, the court decided that instead of splitting her estate 5:5, it should be split 6:4 with the latter going to her mother.
The lawyer noted that the decision, while not completely what they were hoping for, was still a step in the right direction because the
Goo Hara Law has not become official law yet. The lawyer noted that even while disappointing, it was impossible for the court to decide that a parent completely loses their rights to the estate under the current law. Because of this, the law firm will continue to pursue the officialization of the Goo Hara Law.
