Statutes on Adulterous-Partner Consolation Money Explained by the Jeju Divorce Attorney
'Infidelity' covers, as the definition of one spouse's unfaithful conduct, adultery, which refers to a physical relationship,
as well as all conduct, beyond adultery, that fails to honor the duty of fidelity toward the other spouse.
Accordingly, exchanging affectionate words or text messages, sharing conversations such as planning a future together, or frequently meeting to go on dates or trips can all be regarded as constituting infidelity.
A third party must not interfere in the marital community life of others so as to bring about the breakdown of that marital community life, and conduct whereby a third party engages in unfaithful conduct with one spouse, infringing upon or interfering with the maintenance of the marital community life that is the essence of marriage, infringing upon the rights of the other spouse, and inflicting mental suffering on that spouse constitutes a tort. - Supreme Court, Judgment of November 20, 2014, 2011Meu997, en banc |
In determining the amount of damages arising from unfaithful conduct, various circumstances are considered, including the duration of the marriage, the course of the marital breakdown caused by the unfaithful conduct, the period and degree of the unfaithful conduct, the tortfeasor's attitude after the unfaithful conduct, and the degree of the mental suffering experienced by the plaintiff.
