Yongsan Civil Litigation Attorney Assistance Case | Claiming Substantial Consolation Money Through a Civil Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Male Partner

This is the account of a client who came to the Yongsan branch office to request a civil lawsuit.

On a trip taken together with the defendant’s family, the client sensed an unusual atmosphere between his wife and the defendant.

As his suspicions grew, the client installed a location-tracking app on his wife’s phone, and the result was shocking.

When he later confronted his wife, she admitted that she had met the defendant and had sexual relations with him, and the client was overwhelmed by betrayal and shock.

Overwhelmed by betrayal and shock, the client decided to file a claim for damages against the adulterous male partner and came to the Yongsan branch office to request assistance from the civil litigation attorney.
