Transnational emotional disputes: How to deal with transnational emotional, personal property protection
By : Kobre & Kim LLP
Case Overview:
Miss Zhang worked in Shanghai, China, while Mr Li lived in New York, United States. The two met on social media and became romantically involved. However, as time went on, conflicts arose between the two due to cultural differences, living habits and trust issues, which eventually led to the breakup. Miss Zhang suspected that Mr Li took advantage of her trust during the relationship and cheated her out of her possessions and emotions. Ms. Zhang entrusted our law firm to help her recover her losses and protect her legal rights and interests.
Legal Response:
Asset investigation and evidence gathering: In the initial consultation, our legal team learned about Miss Zhang's experience and the background of the case in detail, and collected relevant evidence, including correspondence records with Mr. Li, transfer vouchers, gift purchase records, etc. We provided professional legal advice to Miss Zhang and analyzed the legal basis of the case and possible litigation strategies.
Transnational Property Appeals: We assisted Ms. Zhang in sorting out all the evidentiary materials, drafted a civil complaint, and filed a civil lawsuit, asking Mr. Li to return the property and compensate Ms. Zhang for her emotional loss. At the same time, we applied to the court for property preservation to prevent Mr. Li from transferring his assets.
Enforcement and recovery of losses: After the court decision took effect, we assisted Ms. Zhang in applying for enforcement and successfully recovered part of the property through the court's execution procedure. At the same time, we continue to follow the progress of the case to ensure that Miss Zhang's interests are protected to the greatest extent possible.
Outcome and Summary:
Through our professional legal services, Miss Zhang not only successfully exposed Mr. Li's fraudulent behavior, but also recovered part of the property and safeguarded her legitimate rights and interests. The successful handling of this case not only recovered the economic loss for Miss Zhang, but also played a deterrent effect on similar emotional fraud.
