Family cases are prone to making wrong decisions under the influence of emotions, such as hastily signing divorce agreements, failing to clearly specify child support and visitation arrangements, ignoring the time limits for claims relating to marital property gains, or failing to first confirm the validity of the estate, debts, reserved portion, and will in inheritance cases.
It is recommended to first compile the following information: wedding date, children's ages, current care status, financial details, conversation records, remittance records, will or inheritance documents, so that a lawyer can determine whether to negotiate, mediate, preserve assets, or directly file a family lawsuit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Divorce, Custody, Property and Inheritance FAQ
If you want a divorce but your spouse refuses to sign the papers, can you unilaterally file for divorce?
A court can assess a divorce case, but it must meet the grounds for divorce under civil law or there must be significant breaches in the marriage. Common evidence includes chat logs, records of domestic violence, evidence of infidelity, proof of separation, medical records, or police reports. Whether it is appropriate to file a lawsuit depends on an assessment of the strength of the evidence.
How is child custody decided? Does a higher income determine the outcome?
The court prioritizes the best interests of the child, not just income. Factors such as the primary caregiver, continuity of care, parental capacity, support system, the child's wishes, and stability of residence and schooling can all influence the determination of child custody.
Can visitation and contact arrangements be specified in detail?
Yes, and it's recommended to be specific. This includes specifying weekdays, summer and winter vacations, Chinese New Year, birthdays, pick-up and drop-off locations, last-minute cancellations, video calls, and domestic and international travel arrangements. All of these can be clearly defined in the agreement or a court ruling to reduce future conflicts.
How does Taiwan’s claim for distribution of marital property gains work? Does divorce mean dividing all assets equally?
Under Taiwan’s statutory marital property regime, termination of the regime may give rise to a monetary claim based on half the difference between the spouses’ respective net marital property gains. This does not mean dividing every asset equally. Property acquired by inheritance or other gratuitous title and consolation payments are generally excluded. Where equal distribution would be manifestly unfair, the court may adjust or waive it in accordance with the law.
What if a will infringes a statutory reserved share?
An heir may seek reduction of a testamentary disposition that infringes the heir’s statutory reserved share. Lifetime gifts require separate assessment under the applicable rules; not every lifetime gift is subject to reduction. The heir’s status, estate, will and relevant dispositions should be examined before deciding on a claim.
Will all family cases go to court?
Not necessarily. Many divorce, custody, child support, and property cases can be resolved through agreement or mediation initially. However, if the other party refuses to communicate, conceals assets, refuses to pay child support, commits domestic violence, or harms the interests of children, it may be necessary to go through court proceedings to protect your rights.
Are you facing issues related to divorce, custody, property division, or inheritance?
Please schedule a confidential one-on-one consultation first, allowing a lawyer to assess the evidence, court procedures, and feasible strategies. The sooner family cases are clarified, the less likely you are to make unfavorable decisions under emotional or stressful circumstances.
