Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Legitimate and compliant retaliation?

Zhang Hu's heart skipped a beat, then his breathing became rapid, and he abruptly looked up at him.

"Really...really!?"

That's right, it's revenge!

He doesn't care about money; what he cares about is that the other person can make a mistake and not be punished at all!

"Of course it's true."

Xu De nodded, then spoke:

"If that's the case, then let's change our demands and shift our focus from divorce to legal and compliant retaliation against you!"

"First, since the other party's economic actions have angered you... then let's impose economic sanctions!"

"If the other party wants to use divorce to gain financial benefits, then... what if we don't divorce?"

No...no divorce?

Zhang Hu's expression froze.

Before he could question it, Xu De poured him a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him, continuing:

"Why are you in such a hurry to get a divorce? What benefits would a divorce bring you?"

Are there any advantages to divorce? Yes, but the losses are greater!

First, the family property will be divided. Second, without the constraints of divorce, adulterers will have affairs and run away with his money to live a life of pleasure!

so......

"Divorce will do you more harm than good!"

"Besides, your wife's goal is simply to divorce you and divide the money!"

Xu De spoke slowly.

From a revenge perspective, it's only right that the other party can't achieve their goal without getting a divorce!

"But......"

Zhang Hu hesitated. He felt that what the other person said was right, but it also seemed that something was wrong.

"That being said, if you don't divorce, the income of both spouses during the marriage is considered joint property..."

"Doesn't that mean half of the money I earn in the future will belong to her?"

Upon hearing this, Xu De smiled, a shrewd smile.

"No, no, no."

talking.

Xu suddenly pulled out paper and pen and started writing and drawing on the paper.

"Mr. Zhang, you may have some misunderstandings about the law regarding 'marital property'."

"First of all! You should know that, according to Article 301 of the Civil Code, it is clearly stipulated that..."

"Community property rights ≠ unconditional right of use!"

Joint property rights can be simply understood as requiring the mutual consent of both parties when one party uses two-thirds of the family savings.

This does not restrict daily consumption or personal funds.

For example, if you earn 10,000 yuan a month after marriage and have enough money to buy a 5,000 yuan dress, you can still buy it even if your wife disagrees.

The biggest limitation of this thing is large purchases!

Does Zhang Hu make large purchases?

Yes, but he can bypass family funds without needing the adulterer's consent!

But what if the cheating partner makes a large purchase? Zhang Hu has the right to refuse their request!

"so......"

Zhang Hu was stunned. He was taken aback by what the other person said, and a look of hesitation appeared on his face.

"So, you mean I only need to give him a small amount of money?"

"No!"

Without hesitation, Xu De continued speaking, using pen and paper to calculate the accounts for the other party.

"In theory, you don't even need to pay the other party any money for their personal enjoyment; all you need is a certain amount of family funds!"

"That is, Article 1060 of the Civil Code, agency in daily household affairs!"

"It includes many things, the most important to you being daily necessities and small-ticket entertainment."

"If your salary is not high, you can refuse to pay the latter."

"The former refers to food, clothing, shelter, and transportation; if you pay for these, you don't need to give them to your wife."

In a marital relationship, although both men and women have a mutual support relationship, there is a prerequisite.

Only when one party is unable to work can the right to request child support from the other party be triggered, such as in the case of disability.

The wife is capable of working but has no reason not to work; theoretically...

Even with the law on marital property, you don't have to give a single penny.

Xu De affirmed, then paused and added.

"Of course, that's just theory."

"You should actually give them something, but not much!"

Therefore, if Zhang Hu doesn't get a divorce, he only needs to pay a small amount of money, and he doesn't actually have a strong desire to get a divorce.

The other man's wife is the one who really wants a divorce!

"Is this...is this legal?"

Zhang Hu hesitated for a moment, not because he didn't understand what the other party meant.

It was only after understanding that I was truly awestruck!

"Even if there is so-called marital property... in reality, I don't actually need to contribute much money!?"

Zhang Hu exclaimed in shock.

"Yes,"

Xu De nodded.

Zhang Hu pressed further, "So how much money should I pay?"

Xu De continued writing and calculating on the paper, and casually remarked:

"How much does your wife typically spend each month?"

Zhang Hu blurted out instinctively, "Ten or twenty thousand a month, I guess."

Xu De nodded and said:

"Assuming your monthly income is two thousand, after deducting household expenses, you would probably only need to give..."

talking.

Xu De wrote down a string of numbers on a piece of paper and pushed it to the other party.

Zhang Hu took it, his heart skipped a beat when he saw the numbers on it, and he blurted out instinctively:

"Three hundred dollars!?"

He looked up at Xu De in disbelief.

I only give myself 300 a month, which is only 3,600 a year!

From 20,000, it plummeted to 300!?

Putting aside the difficulty of going from luxury to frugality, even an ordinary person couldn't accept 300 a month!

But then again, if I really drag my feet on getting a divorce... my partner will only be able to spend 300 yuan a month!

The result is.

If someone wants money for entertainment and spending, they're forced to work!

His wife has a low level of education and lacks ability. If she really wanted to earn money, she wouldn't even be able to do manual labor. She could only do tiring jobs with low pay!

Zhang Hu's vision gradually brightened.

Immediately, his heart started racing and his body radiated excitement.

Making a gold digger work... is definitely worse than killing her!

"In reality, it will be less than three hundred!"

Xu De smiled. "This is just a conservative price."

Zhang Hu was overjoyed.

But then he paused, sighed, and shook his head, saying:

"I currently live in my father's property, and I don't need to pay rent."

With additional expenses such as rent, the amount paid will be even less, less than three hundred.

But Zhang Hu doesn't have to pay rent...

"No, you can choose to bear the burden!"

Xu De smiled and spoke again, his words like a devil's whisper:

"You can have your father collect your rent."

Zhang Hu: ?

One sentence left Zhang Hu completely dumbfounded. He looked up at Xu De, his face full of astonishment.

Let his dad... collect his own rent!?

"No...this...this..."

Zhang Hu was shocked, and he hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"Is this legal!?"

That sounds a bit strange...

And... isn't this method a bit too blatant?

Won't this blatant act of revenge get me whipped by the court?

"Mr. Zhang, I am a lawyer, and what I say is naturally legal!"

Xu De's face hardened. He knew the law by heart; how could it be illegal?

"There is no law that forbids a father from collecting rent from his son!"

"Of course, a compliant lease agreement must be signed."

Zhang Hu's mind went blank again.

It seems... there is indeed no law stating that a father cannot collect rent from his adult children!

only.......

"But I have a high salary; I own a food company."

Zhang Hu suddenly sighed again, a bitter smile on his face.

The money given is based on a percentage of his base salary, and his salary is quite substantial...

My income comes in the form of "salary + business income," and my monthly income is...

He hadn't finished speaking.

Xu De then interrupted:

"Mr. Zhang, you are the company boss."

"You can take a pay cut yourself."

Zhang Hu: ?

Zhang Hu's eyes twitched, and his eyes widened.

But then the other party slowly spoke again:

"You can reduce your salary to 1,000 a month or even 1 a month for a reasonable reason... but I don't recommend earning 1 a month, because that's too arrogant."

Salaries too high? That's easy to fix.

Just take a pay cut yourself!

Zhang Hu's head was buzzing.

What does it mean that because it's too arrogant, it's not recommended to lower the price to one dollar?

Does dropping the price to 1000 mean you're not being arrogant?!

When he came to his senses, Zhang Hu stared at Xu De in disbelief. After a long while, he stammered:

"Those shares..."

"Judging from your age, your company must have been established before your marriage."

Xu De spoke slowly, demonstrating his professionalism.

"Pre-marital assets are personal property and are not included in joint assets."

"However, if the property appreciates after marriage, the difference in value and subsequent dividends are considered joint property of the couple."

For example, if you bought stocks worth 100 million before marriage, and the stocks appreciated to 110 million after marriage, then the extra 10 is considered joint property of the couple.

"but!"

"You can sell your shares."

Xu De offered another suggestion: "You can sell it to your father for a reasonable market price of 90 or 100, and keep nothing for yourself. This money will be considered premarital property."

"Your daily expenses will be reimbursed by the company."

"The funds used can also be made by your father as a 'personal gift'!"

"This would make you a low-income person with a monthly income of two thousand, or even one thousand, and you still have to pay rent."

Zhang Hu's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, his body in turmoil.

A single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study!

What does it mean for a father to collect rent from his son?

What does it mean to take a pay cut?

What does it mean that premarital shares that have appreciated in value can be reasonably sold to the father at the price before the marriage when they had not appreciated in value, and the money from the sale is considered premarital property?

Zhang Hu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly as he looked at the lawyer in front of him.

"Is...is this really not illegal?"

He felt that this seemed a bit... arrogant!

Won't the judge whip him with a belt?!

"This is legal."

"Of course, this is on the premise that your reasons for your actions are 'normal'; otherwise, it will be considered as concealing assets."

Xu De also stood up and looked at the customer in front of him with a gentle expression.

"In this way, you only need to pay your wife three hundred yuan per month, and the duration of this service..."

"It depends on before you decide to divorce."

In other words... as long as Zhang Hu doesn't decide to divorce.

If the other party's wife doesn't work, she will only have 300 yuan a month, which is not even enough for a decent meal!

If she were to try and find another wealthy man... but if Zhang Hu doesn't agree to a divorce, the other person will never be able to "get off the hook" for the rest of their life!

Furthermore, a second infidelity can increase leverage in a subsequent divorce, potentially resulting in the other party receiving less or no assets!

"This...this...this..."

Zhang Hu felt as if he had pushed open a strange door.

Yes.

That's right!

Divorce? They should impose economic sanctions for several years first!

Seeing this, Xu De spoke up:

"Mr. Zhang, do you have any further questions?"

Zhang Hu snapped out of his daze and looked at the other person excitedly.

I thought I had encountered a young, inexperienced lawyer and that I was probably out of options.

And guess what... this lawyer really did come up with a solution!

Although something just felt off.

But who cares? What business is it of yours if it's legal and compliant?

Zhang Hu excitedly grasped Xu De's hands.

"I'm so satisfied! I only regret not meeting you sooner!!!"

Xu Dedao:

"Then...can we go to the finance office to settle the contract?"

"Of course!" Zhang Hu exclaimed excitedly.

"That's good."

After speaking...

Xu De then walked to the side, wrote the "Drafting Instructions" for the other party, issued the "Fee Notice," and then led his people out.

His method is rather dangerous.

But if you follow your own drafting guidelines... you can be completely assured!

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Zhang Hu followed Xu De into the hall.

On the road.

When Zhang Hu's colleague in the lobby saw his grateful expression, he raised an eyebrow.

Is it resolved?

Even the people in the finance department were somewhat surprised.

Inside the finance department.

"Cashier Li, could you please settle the bill for my client?"

Xu De arrived at the finance office and spoke to an ordinary-looking female employee.

Upon hearing this, the female employee looked up at Xu De, then at Zhang Hu, a hint of surprise on her face.

"Has Attorney Xu resolved the consultation?"

Xu De nodded. "Yes."

Upon hearing this, the female employee was somewhat surprised.

She knew this was a dispute, and a package deal at that, requiring her advice!

Even if an elite lawyer came to this case, the solution they would offer would only be to make the client suffer injustice and lose out.

The customer's expression... clearly showed that he was very satisfied.

What advice did the other party give Zhang Hu?

Finally suppressing his doubts, Cashier Li took a deep breath and said:

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Before long, the ticket was in Zhang Hu's hands.

He paused abruptly as he watched the ticket collection, a look of surprise on his face.

"How come it only costs seven hundred?!"

Zhang Hu frowned. "I want an additional 20,000. This is voluntary. Add it to my account!"

Cashier Li's eyes twitched.

Before she could speak, Xu De spoke up:

"This is not in accordance with the rules. If you are satisfied, Mr. Zhang, you can add a few hundred yuan."

Overcharging is no small matter, and he didn't want to cause any trouble for his professional license before resigning.

Zhang Hu didn't insist and nodded.

"Then let's go with 999."

Upon hearing this, Cashier Li silently issued a receipt.

The consultation case in just one hour... was more than her monthly salary, she couldn't help but think to herself:

"Is this still the same Xu De? How did he do that...?"

Zhang Hu held the receipt and looked at Xu De with some emotion.

"Attorney Xu, thank you so much for your help this time!"

"It's just a matter of getting paid to do a job," Xu De chuckled.

Zhang Hu turned and left, wanting to go back and tell his wife, "I love you, I won't get a divorce."

but......

"Hold on."

Xu De glanced at the additional money on the receipt and suddenly called out to the other party.

"Mr. Zhang, I remember you saying that the other woman seemed to have called you and even shown you videos and photos of herself and your wife? What is she trying to do?"

Zhang Hu, standing at the door, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and subconsciously said:

"What else can they do? Threaten me to give them some money, or they'll release the video."

"Did you give it to me?" Xu De asked.

Zhang Hu frowned and spoke angrily:

"Of course I didn't give it to him! I hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De pretended to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing you didn't give it to me."

Zhang Hu was stunned, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Xu De responded:

"If you hadn't hung up, you could have offered them two or three hundred yuan to destroy the video."

"The other party will definitely be enraged and see an opportunity to profit. They might then make exorbitant demands, threatening you with video privacy to extort millions."

"It would be terrible if you were forced to agree and give in at this point!"

"This would constitute extortion on the other party's part. Even if the video was filmed voluntarily by your wife and she forgave you, it won't matter, because you have already committed a completed crime, which is a serious offense!"

"The court will sentence him to at least ten years, a full ten years! That will ruin his life!!!"

"Thankfully, you hung up the phone."

Zhang Hu: !!!

These words struck Zhang Hu like a thunderbolt.

His breathing became increasingly rapid, and his gaze towards Xu De grew increasingly intense until he finally couldn't help but speak:

"Isn't this...isn't this illegal?"

"What illegality? I was just reminding you not to be fooled," Xu De said, trying to deflect the issue.

Good lawyer...

This is exactly the kind of good lawyer he wanted!

Zhang Hu stared at him intently for a long time, then took a deep breath and walked out excitedly.

As for Xu De, just as he placed his hand on the doorknob of the finance office, preparing to leave...

A pale blue light screen suddenly reappeared in front of him, and a voice rang in his ears.

Congratulations on completing your civil consultation x1

[The customer expressed extremely high praise and satisfaction with your service!]

Congratulations on receiving 10 Thank You Coins!

Congratulations on your stroke of luck! You've gained the talent skill: Culinary Skill lv1 (0/10)

Xu De stopped in his tracks.

"Skills? Rewards?"

A thought struck him, and without lingering too long, he put away the light screen and walked outside.

"Squeak~"

The door to the finance office opened.

In the lobby, several lawyers saw that Xu De was about to leave after get off work, and one of them couldn't help but ask him something.

"Attorney Xu, have you resolved the consultation in reception room 103?!" a female lawyer asked, her face full of surprise.
