Upon divorce, a woman in Shanghai resigned from her high paying job and worked as a full-time wife for many years to take care of her family
After marriage, the woman gave up her high paying job to take care of her family full-time, and also helped her business husband handle company affairs. But when the marriage came to an end and the couple went to court in the past, could she receive a divorce financial compensation? Recently, the reporter learned about a case from the Changning District People's Court in Shanghai, which ultimately ruled that the husband should compensate his wife with 100000 yuan.
Mr. Wang and his wife are college classmates, and after graduation, they formed a happy family together. After his daughter was born, Mr. Wang resigned from his previous employer and went into business, often traveling and socializing. My wife used to work at an accounting firm, so it's common for her to work overtime and rush to work. In order to better take care of the family and accompany their daughter's growth, the two discussed and decided that their wife would resign and focus on taking care of the elderly and children at home, taking care of household chores, and helping Mr. Wang with some financial matters related to the company. In this way, the couple started from scratch and their family gradually became wealthy.
However, a few years later, this couple who seemed to outsiders to have a deep affection for each other and shared joys and sorrows, went to court due to divorce. Mr. Wang claimed that after working hard outside for so many years, the house, company, and savings at home were all negotiated by himself, while his wife only did household chores and took care of the elderly and children at home, making no substantial contribution to the family.
My wife, on the other hand, stated that she was originally a glamorous urban beauty with a much higher salary than Mr. Wang at the time. She chose to return to her family to take care of the elderly and children, allowing him to work outside without any worries. This was also the result of their discussion. So, we cannot assume that we have not contributed to our family and demand that Mr. Wang pay additional financial compensation for our divorce.
After the trial by the Changning Court, it was found that the Civil Code stipulates that if one spouse bears more obligations such as raising children, caring for the elderly, or assisting the other in work, they have the right to request compensation from the other party at the time of divorce, and the other party should provide compensation. The specific methods shall be agreed upon by both parties; If the agreement cannot be reached, the people's court shall make a judgment. In this case, the wife gave up her high paying job for the sake of her family and children, and stayed at home full-time to raise children, take care of the elderly, and take care of household chores. She also took on more family obligations and assisted her husband in running a company, meeting the requirements for divorce economic compensation. Considering the duration of their marriage and economic conditions, Mr. Wang was ordered to provide an additional economic compensation of 100000 yuan.
