Gunsan Divorce Attorney | Winning a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner by Proving Her Infidelity
The client came to a Gunsan divorce attorney seeking to bring a consolation money lawsuit against the adulterous partner, requested the assistance of a divorce attorney at the Gunsan office, and won the case by proving the adulterous partner's infidelity.
1. How the Client Came to the Gunsan Divorce Attorney
The client, having learned of her spouse's infidelity, came to a Gunsan divorce attorney and requested assistance in order to claim consolation money from the adulterous partner who had engaged in the infidelity.

The Account of the Client Who Met With the Gunsan Divorce Attorney
One day, the client received a call from an unknown number and was told, "I am seeing your husband," and, "I am going to be with your husband, so get a divorce."
Shocked by this, the client demanded a full explanation from her spouse and learned that her spouse had in fact engaged in infidelity for nearly a year.
However, when the spouse, thinking it was not right to continue the infidelity any longer, gave notice of a breakup to the adulterous partner, the adulterous partner called the client out of anger.
The client, who suffered severe stress as a result, requested the assistance of a Gunsan divorce attorney in order to claim consolation money for the adulterous partner's infidelity.
The Statutes Relevant to the Case Explained by the Gunsan Divorce Attorney
If a spouse has engaged in infidelity, a divorce action can be brought against the spouse at fault.
At the same time, a 🔗lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female/male) can also be brought to claim consolation money from the other party to the infidelity, the adulterous partner.
In the past, the matter could be pursued through criminal proceedings as the offense of adultery, but that offense has now been abolished, so only civil liability can be pursued.
As for the relevant statute,
there is such a provision, under which the adulterous partner is recognized as having injured the client's married life, and compensation for the emotional harm can be demanded.
However, in a lawsuit against the adulterous partner, securing evidence of the infidelity is very important, and through it the emotional suffering experienced by the client must be clearly proven.
2. The Gunsan Divorce Attorney's Assistance
Through a detailed consultation with the client, the Gunsan divorce attorney closely grasped the circumstances of the case, gathered a variety of evidentiary materials, and argued as follows.
The Gunsan Divorce Attorney's Argument ① The Adulterous Partner's Deceptive Conduct
Although the adulterous partner was the very person who had engaged in the infidelity that brought the marriage to ruin, she instead called the client and demanded a divorce, engaging in serious deceptive conduct.
The Gunsan divorce attorney argued that the harm caused by the adulterous partner's injury to the married life was enormous, and that the adulterous partner had a responsibility to compensate for it.
The Gunsan Divorce Attorney's Argument ② Emotional Harm
After this incident occurred, the client suffered severe harm from stress, including hair loss and an eating disorder.
As a result, she was undergoing both counseling and medication therapy in the psychiatry department, and the attorney argued that the adulterous partner had a responsibility to compensate for this.
3. The Gunsan Divorce Attorney's Result "Winning the Case"
The court, accepting the Gunsan divorce attorney's arguments, issued the following judgment in this case.
"The defendant shall pay the plaintiff 25,000,000 won, together with an amount calculated at the rate of 12% per annum until the date of full payment."
