雙方都同意時可以協議離婚：依民法第 1050 條，要有書面、二人以上證人簽名，並到戶政機關辦理離婚登記。對方不同意時，須向法院請求離婚，並具備民法第 1052 條的事由，例如重婚、不堪同居之虐待、惡意遺棄，或有其他難以維持婚姻的重大事由。法院通常會先安排調解。

法院依「子女最佳利益」判斷（民法第 1055 條之 1），會考量子女的年齡、健康與意願，父母的照顧意願與能力、經濟與生活狀況、和子女的感情，以及是否妨礙對方與子女相處等，並常參考社工訪視或家事調查官的報告。

法定財產制關係消滅時（例如離婚），雙方婚後財產扣除婚後債務後，剩餘較少的一方可以請求差額的一半；繼承、受贈取得的財產與慰撫金不列入（民法第 1030 條之 1）。這項請求須在知道有差額後 2 年內行使，且最晚不得超過法定財產制關係消滅後 5 年。

建議先看。協議書常見的問題包括親權與會面交往寫得不清楚、扶養費的金額與給付方式沒有約定、財產與債務沒有處理完整。條款寫得具體，可以減少日後再上法院的機會。

原則上要依時到場。被告經合法傳喚、無正當理由不到場，可能被拘提（刑事訴訟法第 75 條）；警察通知書無正當理由不到，也可能被報請核發拘票（第 71 條之 1）。時間無法配合時，應先與承辦單位聯繫，或由律師協助處理。

可以。被告與犯罪嫌疑人都可以隨時選任辯護人（刑事訴訟法第 27 條），偵查中律師可以在訊問時在場、筆記並陳述意見（第 245 條）。訊問前，承辦人員也應告知您可以保持緘默、可以選任辯護人等權利（第 95 條）。

把帳戶交給他人使用，可能涉及幫助詐欺、幫助洗錢，或違反洗錢防制法第 22 條（無正當理由交付、提供帳戶）。個案差異很大，應訊前請先整理與對方的對話紀錄、交付帳戶的經過與時間，交由律師協助釐清。

不一定。最輕本刑三年以上有期徒刑等案件，審判中若沒有選任辯護人，法院會指定辯護人（刑事訴訟法第 31 條）。其他案件雖然不強制，但偵查階段的應對常影響是否起訴與後續量刑，建議及早諮詢。

常見做法是先寄存證信函催告，再視情況聲請支付命令或起訴。支付命令送達後，債務人可以在 20 日內提出異議（民事訴訟法第 516 條）；沒有在期限內異議，支付命令就可以作為聲請強制執行的依據（第 521 條）。

受傷時，一般可以請求醫療費、看護與交通費、不能工作的收入損失、勞動能力減損，以及精神慰撫金（民法第 191 條之 2、第 193 條、第 195 條）；車輛修理費等財產損失也可以請求。只有車損、沒有人受傷時，通常只能請求財產上的損失。請求權須在知道損害及賠償義務人起 2 年內行使（民法第 197 條）。

本票裁定是非訟程序，法院只審查本票的形式，不審查債務實際是否存在。主張本票是偽造、變造的，在裁定送達後 20 日內提起確認之訴，可以停止強制執行；主張債權不存在的，也可以起訴確認，並聲請提供擔保停止執行（非訟事件法第 195 條）。

請求金額 10 萬元以下適用小額程序（民事訴訟法第 436 條之 8），50 萬元以下適用簡易程序（第 427 條），車禍、票據等案件也一律適用簡易程序。這些程序比較簡便，徐律師可以先幫您評估自行處理或委任的成本。

常見重點包括：雙方權利義務是否明確、付款與交付條件、違約責任與違約金、契約解除或終止的條件、保密與智慧財產權歸屬，以及發生爭議時的管轄法院與準據法。

可以。徐律師可以撰擬與審閱中英文契約，並以中文或英文向您說明條款的意思與風險。

存證信函由郵局證明寄件的內容與日期，常用來催告履行、通知解除契約或主張權利，日後可以證明您已經通知過對方。它本身沒有強制執行的效力，對方不理會時，仍需要透過法院程序處理。

駕駛人使用車輛造成他人損害，應負賠償責任（民法第 191 條之 2）。有人受傷時，一般可以請求醫療費、看護與交通費、不能工作的收入損失、勞動能力減損，以及精神慰撫金（民法第 193 條、第 195 條）。只有車損、沒有人受傷時，原則上只能請求車輛因毀損所減少的價額（民法第 196 條），實務上常以必要的修理費估算，更換的新零件通常要扣除折舊；精神慰撫金一般無法請求。請求權須在知道損害及賠償義務人起 2 年內行使（民法第 197 條）。

和解成立後，雙方在和解書中拋棄的權利就會消滅（民法第 737 條），之後發現傷勢比預期嚴重，通常很難再要求。簽名前請確認：金額是否涵蓋後續治療與工作損失、付款期限與方式、是否同時撤回刑事告訴，以及強制險已給付的金額會不會從賠償中扣除（強制汽車責任保險法第 32 條）。在公所調解委員會調解成立、經法院核定後，與民事確定判決有同一效力（鄉鎮市調解條例第 27 條）。

有。過失傷害是告訴乃論之罪（刑法第 284 條、第 287 條），須在知道肇事者是誰後 6 個月內提出告訴（刑事訴訟法第 237 條），超過就不能再告。常見的情況是先談和解，談不成時才發現已過期限；和解還沒談成時，可以先在期限內提出告訴，和解成立後再撤回。

被害人自己也有過失時，法院可以減輕賠償金額（民法第 217 條），所以責任比例常是和解金額的關鍵。當事人可以向各地車輛行車事故鑑定會申請鑑定，但須在事故發生後 6 個月內提出；案件進入偵查或審判後，則由檢察官或法院囑託鑑定（車輛行車事故鑑定及覆議作業辦法第 3 條）。

不用。加入官方 LINE 後，律師會先以文字與您確認、討論並初步解答您的問題，這部分不收費。

若初步討論後發現案件需要詳細審閱證據、確認事實，以擬定訴訟或法律策略、評估風險，徐律師會先向您說明原因，再協調現場諮詢時間。收費為每小時新臺幣 3,000 元，內容包括案情確認、證據分析、擬定策略與後續處理建議；諮詢後 2 週內委任，諮詢費可全額折抵律師費。

深入諮詢不是簡單的問答，而是一次完整的法律診斷。律師會事先研讀您提供的證據、檢索相關法規與判決，並保留完整時間為您分析風險、規劃下一步。

If both spouses agree, you can divorce by mutual consent: a written agreement signed by two or more witnesses and registered at a household registration office (Civil Code Art. 1050). If your spouse does not agree, you must ask the court for a divorce on grounds listed in Art. 1052, such as abandonment, intolerable mistreatment or other serious circumstances that make the marriage difficult to continue. The court usually starts with mediation.

The court decides based on the best interests of the child (Civil Code Art. 1055-1). It looks at the child’s age, health and wishes, each parent’s willingness and ability to care for the child, their living situation and their relationship with the child, and often considers a social worker’s report.

Taiwanese courts handle many divorces involving foreign nationals. Which country’s law applies, and whether the result will be recognized in your home country, depend on your nationalities and where you live, so it is worth checking before you file.

Generally yes. A defendant who does not appear after a lawful summons without good reason may be arrested by warrant (Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 75), and a police notice works similarly (Art. 71-1). If you cannot make the date, contact the office or ask a lawyer to help.

Yes. You may appoint a defense lawyer at any time (Art. 27), and the lawyer may be present, take notes and state opinions during questioning (Art. 245). Before questioning, you must be told that you have the right to remain silent and to appoint a lawyer (Art. 95).

Usually yes. If you do not understand Chinese, an interpreter should be provided (Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 99), and Attorney Hsu can explain each step to you in English.

A common first step is a certified demand letter, followed by a payment order or a lawsuit. A debtor who receives a payment order has 20 days to object (Code of Civil Procedure Art. 516); if no objection is filed, the order can be used to apply for compulsory enforcement (Art. 521).

If you were injured, you can generally claim medical costs, care and transport costs, lost income, loss of working capacity and compensation for emotional distress (Civil Code Arts. 191-2, 193 and 195), as well as vehicle repair costs. Claims must be made within 2 years of knowing the damage and who is responsible (Art. 197).

Typically the parties’ rights and obligations, payment and delivery terms, liability and penalties for breach, termination, confidentiality and intellectual property, and which court and law apply if a dispute arises.

Yes. Attorney Hsu reviews contracts in either language and explains what each clause means for you in English.

If you were injured, you can generally claim medical costs, care and transport costs, lost income, loss of working capacity and compensation for emotional distress (Civil Code Arts. 191-2, 193 and 195). If only your vehicle was damaged, you can generally claim the loss in its value (Art. 196), usually measured by necessary repair costs with depreciation on new parts. Claims must be made within 2 years of knowing the damage and who is responsible (Art. 197).

Yes. Negligent injury (Criminal Code Art. 284) can only be prosecuted on complaint (Art. 287), and the complaint must be filed within 6 months of learning who the offender is (Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 237). If settlement talks are still ongoing, you can file within the deadline and withdraw the complaint once you settle.

Rights you give up in a settlement are extinguished once it is concluded (Civil Code Art. 737), so it is hard to ask for more later. Check that the amount covers future treatment and lost income, the payment terms, whether the criminal complaint will be withdrawn, and whether compulsory insurance payments will be deducted (Compulsory Automobile Liability Insurance Act Art. 32).

Yes. After you add the official LINE account, Attorney Hsu will go over your question with you by message and give an initial answer at no charge.

If your case requires a close review of the evidence and facts to plan a litigation or legal strategy and assess the risks, Attorney Hsu will explain why and arrange an in-person meeting. The fee is NT$3,000 per hour and covers fact review, evidence analysis, strategy and recommended next steps. If you retain Attorney Hsu within 2 weeks, the fee is fully credited toward your legal fees.

It is a thorough legal diagnosis, not a quick Q&A. Attorney Hsu studies your evidence in advance, researches the relevant laws and court decisions, and reserves dedicated time to analyze the risks and plan your next steps.

Yes. Attorney Hsu offers emergency, short-notice accompaniment to police and prosecutor questioning. Please send a LINE message as soon as possible with the time and place. In urgent situations, you can also call the emergency line listed at the bottom of this page.

Yes. Attorney Hsu earned an LL.M. in the Netherlands with a thesis written entirely in English and has handled many international and cross-border cases. Civil, family, criminal, business and legal counsel services are all available in English.

Attorney Hsu mainly handles cases in Taipei and New Taipei (Taipei, Shilin and New Taipei District Courts and Prosecutors Offices). For cases elsewhere in Taiwan, send a LINE message with the court or prosecutors office handling your case, and Attorney Hsu will let you know whether he can take it.
