1. Defendant in a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female) | The Client

Daeryun case of assisting a client as defendant in a lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female)

The client, who was sued as the defendant in a lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female), nearly had to pay consolation money for adultery due to a misunderstanding that differed from the facts, but with the assistance of Daeryun’s family attorney was able to obtain a judgment dismissing the plaintiff’s claim and conclude the case successfully.

How the Client Came to Be Sued in a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female)

The client was a university student who happened to first meet A while working a part-time job during a vacation.

At the time, the client was troubled by relationship issues with a romantic partner and naturally came to confide in A. The two then exchanged contact over a short period and built up an emotional closeness.

Then one day, the client was sued by A's spouse in a lawsuit against the spouse's affair partner.

Only then did the client learn that A had a spouse, and she felt great shock and a sense of injustice at being identified as the adulterous partner.

Although it was not true at all, amid anxiety that she might have to bear legal liability, the client requested legal help from a family law specialist attorney at Law Firm Daeryun, which has handled many lawsuits against affair partners, in order to gather related evidence and respond to the lawsuit.

2. Defendant in a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female) | What Is a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female)?

A lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female) is a civil suit seeking consolation money from a third party who has infringed upon a marital relationship.

According to Supreme Court precedent, where a third party commits an affair with one of the spouses, thereby infringing upon the marital relationship and causing mental suffering to the other spouse, this in principle constitutes a tort.

Supreme Court, November 20, 2014, 2011Meu2997

A third party must not interfere in another couple's marital community life so as to bring about the breakdown of that marital community life or otherwise obstruct the marital community life that constitutes the essence of the marriage.

An act by which a third party causes mental suffering to a spouse by committing an affair with one of the spouses in principle constitutes a tort.

Issues in the Case

The client was in a situation in which she had been named as the adulterous partner and sued as the defendant.

As with the client, if you have unfairly received a complaint due to the plaintiff's misunderstanding even though the relationship was merely that of a coworker or friend, you must prove that this differs from the facts.

At this point, if no response is made, there is a risk that a judgment in favor of the plaintiff may be rendered, so it is important to argue actively in defense.

To this end, you must make clear that you are entirely unrelated to the matter and prepare sufficient evidence to refute the plaintiff's claims.

Assistance for the Defendant in a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female) | Preparing Evidentiary Materials

Based on the message contents, photographs, and statements from people around the client describing the circumstances at the time, the firm systematically prepared evidentiary materials capable of supporting the point that no adulterous act had existed between the client and A's husband.

In addition, the firm secured and submitted to the court objective circumstances capable of proving that a third party had been present at the place and time when the client had met A's husband.

If You Are in the Position of Being Sued in a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner (Female)?
