In 'Divorce Counseling Camp', the immature couple's wife expressed her desire for punishment against her husband for failing to pay child support.

The episode aired on the 29th featured a consultation with a lawyer for the immature couple.

On that day, the wife asked lawyer Yang Na-rae, "I roughly calculated the child support I haven't received, and it was about 44 million won. If my husband is unable to pay the overdue child support due to lack of financial ability, can I put him in jail?" Lawyer Yang Na-rae responded, "It's not entirely incorrect. If child support continues to go unpaid, it can become a criminal offense. There are steps to go through for that. You can apply for a child support enforcement order in court, and if it remains unpaid afterward, you can seek detention. Moreover, the law has changed to allow for criminal penalties if child support remains unpaid."

The wife expressed disappointment, saying, "So I can't put him in jail right away?" She continued, "I didn't like the law a bit. I thought that if I kept living like this and got really upset, I could apply to put him in jail."

Meanwhile, 'Divorce Counseling Camp' airs every Thursday at 10:10 PM.
