Can I obtain de facto marriage consolation money?

Hello. I am a divorce specialist attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

You said you are in a de facto marriage relationship with your husband. A de facto marriage relationship refers to a relationship that is legally recognized as a legal marriage when it forms a substantial marital relationship without being in a state of marriage.

Even in a de facto marriage relationship, you can claim de facto marriage consolation money from the adultery partner.

In a de facto marriage relationship, you can file not only an adultery partner consolation money lawsuit but also a property division lawsuit, while a divorce lawsuit cannot be filed.

To claim de facto marriage consolation money, it is most important to prove that you were in a de facto marriage relationship.

Since cohabitation alone cannot establish a de facto marriage relationship, you must prove the substance of marriage that demonstrates the parties had the intent of marriage and a recognizable common marital life, that is, whether the parents of both sides are aware of each other's existence.

In addition, you must prove that the adultery partner was aware of the de facto marriage relationship between you and your husband, which must be argued through conversation content between the adultery partner and your husband.

Our firm can handle de facto marriage consolation money lawsuit filings, de facto marriage dissolution, consolation money claim lawsuits following de facto marriage dissolution, and through collaboration with the Evidence Investigation Center and Digital Forensics Center, we can collect evidence favorable to you on your behalf.
