Points to Note in a Damages for Emotional Distress Lawsuit Against an Affair Partner
Where, due to discord and a prolonged separation, the marital community of a couple has broken down so that the substance of the marriage no longer exists and the situation has reached a point that is objectively irrecoverable, the other spouse cannot claim damages against a third party even if that third party has engaged in an affair with one of the spouses.

3. The Incheon Damages Attorney's Assistance

Incheon Damages Attorney Argues That the Client Was Suffering Emotional Distress
The client felt deeply betrayed upon learning that her trusted husband and the defendant had been continuously engaged in an affair.
The defendant showed a defiant attitude without any sign of remorse toward the client.
This caused the client even greater emotional distress.
Accordingly, the attorney emphasized that the defendant had an obligation to pay damages to the client.
Incheon Damages Attorney Argues That the Client Was Threatened by the Defendant
In addition to maintaining a defiant attitude about the affair, the defendant went so far as to threaten the client.
The defendant made threatening remarks such as saying that she would ‘stab and kill’ the client if she did not divorce, creating a sense of fear in the client.
The attorney emphasized that, because of the defendant's conduct, both the client and her children had suffered irrecoverable emotional wounds.
Incheon Damages Attorney Argues That the Defendant Has an Obligation to Pay Damages for Emotional Distress
The defendant intervened between the client and her husband and infringed upon their marital community.
Conduct that infringes the rights of a spouse and inflicts emotional distress upon that spouse constitutes, as a matter of principle, a tort.
The attorney emphasized that the defendant, who had committed an act of infidelity while knowing that the husband had a spouse, bore the liability to compensate for the damage.
