Statutes Related to Damages Against the Adulterous Partner, Examined With an Incheon Attorney for Lawsuits Against the Adulterous Partner (Female)

The Incheon attorney for lawsuits against the adulterous partner (female) emphasizes that the statute of limitations for damages against the adulterous partner, the conditions for claiming consolation money, and similar factors must be examined carefully.

Civil Act Article 766 (Extinctive Prescription of the Right to Claim Damages) (1) A right to claim damages arising from a tort shall be extinguished by prescription if it is not exercised within 3 years from the date on which the injured party or his or her legal representative becomes aware of both the damage and the perpetrator.

(2) The same shall apply when 10 years have elapsed from the date on which the tortious act was committed.

Accordingly, a lawsuit must be filed within 3 years from the date the wrongful conduct became known, and a lawsuit against an affair partner is possible if that period has not elapsed.

However, in a lawsuit against an affair partner, a tort claim for damages based on the wrongful conduct is recognized where the affair partner met the other person while aware that he or she was married.

If the affair partner met the other person without knowing that he or she was married, a tort claim for damages against the affair partner is difficult to establish.

In addition, the consolation money that may be claimed against an affair partner varies depending on the duration of the relationship, whether a sexual relationship occurred, whether a divorce took place, whether there are children, and similar factors.

3. The Court Accepts the Incheon Attorney for Lawsuits Against the Adulterous Partner (Female) and Decides to Reduce the Consolation Money

This determination by the court was the result of the Daeryun Incheon attorney for lawsuits against the adulterous partner (female) emphasizing that the cause of the breakdown of the plaintiff's marriage did not rest with the defendant alone.

Daeryun Law Firm organizes performance teams composed of multiple legal professionals to maximize expertise, and it has guided entrusted cases toward successful outcomes through Daeryun's own litigation system, built on its record of resolved cases.
