If an unlawful element is involved in preparing a lawsuit against an affair partner, you may instead face a criminal complaint.

A civil lawsuit must be pursued against the affair partner and the spouse, but if a criminal complaint is filed, you may have to settle on the condition that the lawsuit is not pursued.

In addition, there are cases in which a lawsuit against an affair partner cannot be pursued.

According to case law, where there is marital discord and the spouses have lived apart for a long time so that the marital community has broken down and the substance of married life no longer exists, and the relationship has reached a point of objectively irreparable breakdown, damages may not be claimed against a third party even if that third party had an affair with one of the spouses.
