Defendant in an Affair-Partner (Female) Suit | I Was on the Defendant's Side as an Affair Partner, but We Settled and It Didn't Even Go to Trial

The Client Who Requested a Response as the Defendant Affair Partner

The client, who was at risk of being sued as a defendant affair partner, had met a man who worked at the same restaurant and carried on a relationship for about two months.

The problem was that the man was married.

The man's wife, the opposing party, learned of the two's relationship and demanded 50 million won in settlement money from the client, saying that if the settlement money was not paid she would proceed with an affair-partner lawsuit.

The client came to a divorce attorney wishing to conclude the matter quickly through settlement if possible, while defending against an excessive settlement amount, and also to prepare in case an affair-partner lawsuit was filed.

The Strategy That Assisted the Defendant Affair-Partner Client

To respond as the defendant affair partner, the divorce attorney examined the circumstances and duration of the relationship between the client and the married man, as well as the materials and demands the opposing party had secured.

The client wished to continue communicating with the opposing party directly.

Reflecting this wish, the divorce attorney organized the matters to be agreed upon and the expressions to be cautious about before contacting the opposing party, and supported the negotiation by providing the necessary legal advice even during the phone calls.

Through this, the client was able to adjust the settlement terms with the attorney's advice, draft a settlement agreement, and defend against the lawsuit.

Daeryun, Korea's 9th-ranked law firm (based on 2025 National Tax Service VAT filings),​in defendant affair-partner cases reviews the circumstances and duration of the infidelity, the evidence the opposing party has secured, and the amount of alimony claimed, and prepares a response strategy considering the possibility of settlement or of proceeding to litigation.

In this process, through the Litigation Service Quality Assurance System, we strive to immediately reflect our clients' opinions and communicate steadily so that we can provide better legal assistance.

If you are currently in the position of a defendant affair partner, we encourage you to first review the specific facts and settlement terms rather than immediately complying with the demand.
