"I am eating well, living well, and feeling comfortable, thanks to your ......Recently, Liu Meiyun, judge of the Baibi Court of the People's Court of Anyang County, Henan Province, Su Xinxin, a clerk, and Li Haiguo, a people's mediator, and others came to visit Mrs. Tian, a party to a maintenance dispute case, and Mrs. Tian said excitedly when she left.
The second from the left is Judge Lau Mei-wan.
Not long ago, Mrs. Tian entrusted her relatives to come to the Baibi Court, hoping that the court would come forward and "take care of" Mrs. Tian's maintenance issues, and submitted a complaint to the court.
Mrs. Tian complained that she is 92 years old this year, her husband died at an early age, and the two have four sons, all of whom have started a family. Now, due to old age and illness, his body is frail, and he is no longer able to live independently, but his four sons have not fulfilled their maintenance obligations, so they can only live in the granddaughter's house, which has been married for more than four months.
During this period, many people made peace with them many times, but to no avail, and in desperation, they filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that the four sons fulfill their maintenance obligations.
Let's take a look at the living conditions of the elderly, learn about the specific situation from the village cadres, meet the parties, listen to the opinions of all parties, and mediate the best. Judge Liu Meiyun decided to go to the door to handle the case, and invited people's mediators and village cadres to participate together, and strive to resolve the dispute at the door of the parties.
I'm too old to live at my granddaughter's house all the time, and how can I live with this medical bill! Seeing the judge coming to the door, Mrs. Tian held the judge's hand and poured out her distress.
Don't get excited, take your time, so many people are here to deal with your business today! Liu Meiyun comforted.
Just these four sons, they don't support them, it's not easy to pull them since they were young, they all have a family but they dislike me, and they have become a burden to them. After Mrs. Tian calmed down, she explained the incident in detail to the people present, rubbing her eyes from time to time, hoping that the court could administer justice for herself.
Subsequently, Liu Meiyun and others met with Mrs. Tian's son to understand the situation and find the crux of the problem, and explained that they understood the pimple.
Now that you all have children, if you don't support the elderly, your children are also watching, and you are going to live like this in the future? "Four sons can't raise a mother, can this stand up? Walking on the street and not afraid of being poked in the back? In the course of the exchange, the people's mediator Li Haiguo and the village cadres and others successively persuaded and educated Mrs. Tian's son through "dialects and local dialects".
Supporting the elderly is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, and it is also the legal obligation of children. I also learned about the relevant situation today, everyone calmed down and thought about it more, anyway, if this matter is not solved, I will come again. Since the defendants were not all present, and the passage was not unanimous, Liu Meiyun decided to leave a "cooling-off period" for the parties to guide them to treat the matter correctly and rationally.
In the next few days, Liu Meiyun communicated with the defendant through ** many times, but the four defendants still had different opinions on the maintenance method.
Go, go to the door. In order to achieve the effect of educating the trial of a case, Liu Meiyun decided to try the case on a circuit basis, and invited the "original team" to participate in the mediation of the case in due course. A "temporary" trial court was set up in the village committee, and dozens of onlookers watched the verdict at the "doorstep" of the case.
Liu Meiyun listened carefully to the opinions of all parties through the trial, further clarified the focus of the conflict between the two parties, and the parties agreed to mediate after the trial, and Liu Meiyun announced an adjournment. Subsequently, judges, people's mediators, village cadres and other personnel acted separately to do the mediation work of all parties.
It turned out that they lived well, and there was no contradiction at home, but because of the demolition in the village, the elderly pension house was demolished, which led to the current situation. "It's not that we don't support the elderly, the four sons have to be fair, no one can be special!" "Today, the neighbors knew about it, so I didn't say anything, and I agreed to support the elderly." "It's not easy for so many people to take care of my family affairs, and I agree to support the elderly. Through face-to-face, back-to-back and other mediation methods, Mrs. Tian's four sons have changed their minds one after another.
The next day, after more than 3 hours of unremitting efforts, Mrs. Tian and her four sons finally reached a mediation agreement that each would support the elderly for a week and take turns to support the elderly.
A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and although a mediation agreement has been reached between the parties, the living conditions and maintenance of the elderly have always been concerned about Judge Liu Meiyun's heart. In order to consolidate the effectiveness of mediation, Liu Meiyun and others decided to go to Mrs. Tian's current place of residence to pay a post-case return visit to her.
You ran errands and warmed my heart, in the middle, really in the middle! When Liu Meiyun and her entourage entered Mrs. Tian's room, Mrs. Tian said happily.
Seeing that Mrs. Tian was not worried, Liu Meiyun really let go of a worried heart. "The law is rigid, but the judge should be warm in handling the case, and the judge should not only write legal documents, but also help the parties resolve disputes and get out of the predicament. This is Liu Meiyun's heartfelt words, and it is also her working principle.
