Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner Explained by the Gunsan Divorce Litigation Attorney

If there is a third party who has committed an improper act and broken down the trust with a spouse, legal responsibility can be pursued through a 🔗lawsuit against the adulterous partner.

This refers to a lawsuit claiming consolation money from the person who entered into the improper relationship.

When a spouse has had an affair, it is a lawsuit filed for the purpose of holding the affair partner responsible and obtaining compensation for the mental or emotional harm suffered through that affair.

The Legal Basis for a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner Explained by the Gunsan Divorce Litigation Attorney

Article 750 of the Civil Act provides for “damages arising from a tort.”

The improper relationship committed by the affair partner and the spouse infringes upon the marital communal life that constitutes the essence of marriage, so it can be said to constitute a tort, and if it has caused mental suffering or conflict within the family, consolation money can be claimed from the affair partner.

Therefore, in order to file a lawsuit against the adulterous partner, the presence of evidence capable of proving mental suffering and the like is very important.
