Is evidence collection necessary before proceeding with a lawsuit against the affair partner?

Evidence collection is very important in lawsuits against the affair partner.

The court determines liability for consolation money based on whether infidelity actually occurred and whether the affair partner was aware of it.

Therefore, the plaintiff must submit specific and objective evidence that can prove the infidelity.

Generally accepted evidence includes phone records and recordings, credit card usage records and receipts, vehicle dashcam and navigation records, etc.

Mere circumstances are insufficient, and you must be able to prove sexual acts or intimate relationships equivalent to them.

In addition, methods that may constitute illegal wiretapping or invasion of privacy in the evidence collection process may rather cause disadvantages.

Therefore, evidence collection must be conducted in a manner that is legally recognized.

Through the assistance of a specialized attorney, it is good to determine in advance which materials can be recognized as legal evidence and to strategically prepare for the litigation procedure.

Since this is a case where emotions can easily get involved, please note that securing evidence with objectivity and legality through professional assistance is the key.
