Seocheon Divorce Attorney Favorable Judgment | Daeryun Seocheon Divorce Attorney Obtains a Claim of 5 Million Won per Meeting with the Adulterous Partner

The Seocheon divorce attorney proceeded carefully from the initial consultation in order to prove the client's claims of harm with objective supporting evidence.

The client was part of an ordinary couple who had dated her husband for about 10 years before marrying, had one child, and lived together amicably.

Then one day, the client discovered evidence of an affair on her husband's phone with the defendant, the adulterous partner.

Thinking it might be a temporary feeling, the client endured and held back.

However, her husband, unaware of the client's efforts, continued to neglect the family by staying out overnight and the like, and the client came to learn that the defendant was continuing the relationship knowing that he was a married man, having seen messages such as the defendant's remark, “My own wife does not even know about this, does she?”

In the end, the marital relationship between the client and her husband broke down, and they proceeded with a divorce by agreement.

The client requested assistance from the Seocheon divorce attorney to seek damages for the breakdown of the family and the emotional distress caused by the defendant's infidelity, and to legally restrain the two from meeting.

Statute on Damages Arising from Infidelity

Article 750 of the Civil Act (Definition of Tort)
A person who causes loss to another by an unlawful act committed intentionally or negligently is liable to compensate for that loss.

Statute on the Extinctive Prescription of Damages Against an Adulterous Partner

Article 766 of the Civil Act (Extinctive Prescription of the Right to Claim Damages)
①The right to claim damages arising from a tort is extinguished by prescription if not exercised within 3 years from the date on which the injured party or the injured party's legal representative became aware of both the loss and the person who caused it.
②The same applies when 10 years have passed from the date on which the tort was committed.

The Seocheon divorce attorney cited Supreme Court precedent in seeking to hold the Seocheon adulterous partner liable for damages.

■Supreme Court Decision of November 20, 2014, 2011Meu2997■

Where a third party engages in an affair with one spouse and thereby infringes upon the marital cohabitation that constitutes the essence of marriage or interferes with its maintenance, infringing upon the rights of the other spouse and causing that spouse emotional distress, such conduct in principle constitutes a tort.

The Seocheon divorce attorney argued that the husband bore an obligation to compensate, on the basis of tort, for the emotional distress the client suffered through his infidelity, and that the defendant, having intervened in another couple's marital cohabitation and thereby caused the breakdown of the family and interfered with the marital cohabitation, likewise committed a tort, so that the corresponding liability for damages was also established.

The client who requested help from the Seocheon divorce attorney suffered considerable shock upon learning of the infidelity between the defendant and her husband, and the marital relationship ultimately broke down.

Had the defendant not engaged in infidelity with the husband, the client's family life would not have broken down.

Because of the defendant, the client's married life broke down, and the emotional distress the client experiences is beyond expression.
