This refers to situations such as where parents-in-law, a concubine, or a spouse’s adultery partner improperly interferes with the marital life and brings the marriage to a breakdown, or where the parties are subjected to assault, abuse, or insult by parents-in-law to a degree that makes it harsh to require continuation of the marital life.

After a couple’s shared marital life has broken down through discord and a long period of separation, so that the substance of the marriage no longer exists and the situation has reached a point that cannot objectively be restored, even if a third party has an affair with one of the spouses, the other spouse cannot claim damages against the third party.
[Supreme Court Judgment of February 27, 2004, 2003Meu1890, and others]
※ Consolation money may be claimed against an affair partner who is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage, but the following circumstances are not subject to such a claim 1.

※ Criteria for assessing the consolation money that may be claimed against the affair partner This varies depending on factors such as the duration of the relationship, whether there were sexual relations, whether a divorce occurred, and whether there are children. |
2. The Jinju Damages Attorney’s Assistance
The Jinju damages attorney closely examined the specific facts concerning the relationship between the client and her husband, the relationship between the husband and the defendant, and the circumstances at the time of the affair, systematically analyzed the evidence, and argued as follows.
Jinju Damages Attorney Argues That the Defendant Maintained the Affair Despite Knowing the Husband Had a Family
Looking at the messages exchanged between the husband and the defendant, who was the adulterous partner, the defendant said, “OOO (the client’s name) is next to me, is it okay to message on KakaoTalk?” which indicates that
the defendant continued the inappropriate relationship even though she knew that the husband had a family, the attorney argued.
Jinju Damages Attorney Argues That the Defendant Continuously Received Living Expenses From the Husband
The client no longer received the approximately 800,000 won in living expenses that she had continuously received from the husband once he was near the end of his life,
and the hardship of the client and her children continued for a long time.
In fact, however, the attorney argued that from around the time the husband and the defendant began their affair, the husband had been giving the defendant monthly spending money of 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 won.
Jinju Damages Attorney Argues That Damages Are Warranted for the Emotional Shock Suffered by the Client
The client nursed her husband with utmost devotion, and the client’s older brother also did not spare financial help for the husband’s treatment.
However, the affair between the defendant and the husband brought the marriage to a breakdown,
and, on this basis, the client argued that she had fallen into severe emotional suffering and that damages were therefore warranted.
3. With the Jinju Damages Attorney’s Assistance, the Full Amount of Damages in the Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner Was Granted
With the assistance of the Jinju damages attorney, the client was able to have the entire claimed consolation money of approximately 30 million won granted.
