Reader's question: Mr. X, residing in Ngu Hanh Son District (Da Nang City), asks: I am a South Korean national who, after working and living in Vietnam, met and married Ms. L, a Vietnamese citizen. However, over time, our harmony has faded, love has diminished, and serious conflicts were inevitable, making our family no longer peaceful and happy. We have decided to divorce as a means of resolving our conflicts and to relieve psychological burdens for both of us, opening up opportunities for a new life. We currently have one child, baby N, 4 years old, and I intend to renounce her Vietnamese citizenship and bring her to South Korea to live with me. Do I have the right to unilaterally decide to renounce my child's Vietnamese citizenship without my wife's consent? What are the procedures for this?

However, when the payment was due, Mr. Hung found every way to avoid and refused to pay even though I asked him many times. Up to now, it has been overdue for more than a year, but Mr. Hung deliberately does not pay me even though he has a house on the street and goes to work by car. What should I do to get my money back?

However, up to now, the agreed deadline has passed but this project has not been completed or handed over. Because I couldn't wait any longer, my husband and I wanted to buy an apartment in another project, so I repeatedly requested Company X to refund the amount we I have paid and compensated according to the signed Apartment Purchase Contract (referred to as Contract) but not resolved. I intended to sue in Court but was advised to sue at the Arbitration Center because the dispute resolution clause in the Contract stated "all disputes arising during the implementation of the contract will resolved at Arbitration Center ". In fact, this is a pre-prepared general contract form that Company unified application, so I personally did not pay attention and was not informed in advance by Company X. about the terms of settlement at the Arbitration Center . Up to now, when checking the signed Contract, I learned that the settlement cost at the Arbitration Center is much higher than at the Court. So can I sue in Court or do I have to request settlement at the Arbitration Center as in the Contract?
