After the death of a caregiver, my aunt, uncle, or grandmother would like to file a claim for child support.

My husband has not paid child support even once since the child support ruling was made.
My wife, my caregiver, recently passed away. The deceased's aunt, who lived close to her and interacted with her, would like to claim child support. Is this possible?

Yes it is possible.

Principle : When one parent with sole parental authority dies due to divorce, the family court determines the person with parental authority upon the
request of an interested party (Article 909-2 of the Civil Act). In other words, the surviving father or mother does not automatically become the parent.

1. The aunt who will become the guardian applies for guardianship of the minor.

2. If you are appointed her guardian, her children will be able to enforce any inherited past child support bonds against her husband.

This is a procedure in accordance with Korean law.For foreigners, detailed procedures may vary.
