*Since 2007, in some cases the wife can be entitled to up to 50% of the husband's pension.

TL;DR:

Child support is mandated but unenforced
Alimony? Wuzzat? Assets are split, compensation is paid depending on the nature of the divorce, life goes on. Husbands do not pay for housing that they do not live in.
Mothers can deny fathers contact with their children. Fathers can completely withdraw financial support.
International child abduction is an issue.

Pretty interesting. I always love learning about little cultural quirks.

On a related note, I know from living in Korea that adultery is still illegal here and results in jail time if prosecuted (most often in cases of divorce when there's money to lose/gain). It's rarely enforced otherwise but there's always a few cases when the other party's pride is hurt. Law was actually designed to keep men from cheating & to protect women's chastity (aka prime asset), but every article I see indicates that the law these days is used to punish both for cheating. I am 99% sure that Korea is the only non-Arab country in the world with a law still on the books for adultery.

Along that same line, I've have cuckolded 3 married Korean woman here and 1 Russian. One husband actually did find out about me but fortunately nothing happened. I think the wife convinced her husband to let it go (suing me would mean public would know, embarrassment, etc). Unfortunate is that most all married women looking for affairs are simply temporarily emotional. Longest only lasted 3 months.
