아동기 자녀를 둔 협의이혼 부부의 법원 의무상담에 대한 인식 :군산시의 협의이혼 부부상담 결과를 중심으로

Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the perception of couples who had children of elementary school or younger and applied for a consultation divorce on pre-divorce mandatory counseling by the Gunsan Court. Methods: With approval of the Gunsan court, 173 questionnaires were analyzed from couples with children of elementary school or younger who were required to receive counseling prescribed by the court. Results: More than half of the respondents of the divorce applicants with underage children were required the need for divorce consultation after mandatory counseling by the court. In particular, both men and women reported that the predivorce counseling was mostly of great help in the role of parents after divorce. Conclusion: Like the Gunsan Court, the court's mandatory counseling system for couples who applied for a consensual divorce for children under elementary school needs to be expanded nationwide through multi-session counseling, not one-session counseling.
