Gwangju Divorce Attorney Assistance | Helping a Wrongly Sued Client Win a Lawsuit Against the Adulterous Partner

This is the situation of the client.

The client was working part-time at a cafe and developed mutual feelings for the cafe owner, with whom she then had a romantic relationship.

As it turned out, she later learned that the cafe owner she had been dating was married.

The client did not want to maintain a relationship that went against common sense, so she explained that she immediately broke up with the cafe owner and quit the cafe.

A short time later, she was sued by the cafe owner's wife for damages against the adulterous partner, and she visited the Gwangju office to respond to this.

An adulterous act is a type of marital misconduct that, in the past, constituted the crime of adultery and was subject to criminal punishment, but the offense has since been abolished, so now only civil liability can be imposed.

The most important issue in a 🔗lawsuit against the adulterous partner is whether the partner knew of the other person's marriage and intentionally committed the adulterous act despite the risk of breaking up the marriage.

As in the client's case, when a person dates someone without knowing that he or she is married and is then wrongly sued in a lawsuit against the adulterous partner, securing evidence that the misconduct was not committed intentionally is the most important thing of all.

For that reason, clearly proving through an examination of evidence, 🔗digital forensics, and similar means that the conduct was not misconduct has a decisive effect on the judgment.

If the adulterous act is recognized, the consolation money is calculated by comprehensively considering how deep the relationship between the partner and the other person was, the effect on the breakdown of the marriage, the duration of the marriage, and similar factors.

If you are sued in a lawsuit against the adulterous partner, there is a great deal of material to prove overall and the factors to consider are complex, so rather than simply asserting that the claim is unjust, appropriate advice from an attorney experienced in this area is important.

The attorney carefully gathered the circumstances showing that the client had not intentionally committed misconduct, based on the conversations the client had had with the cafe owner she was dating, among other things.

The attorney then mounted a defense as follows so that the client would not be wrongly cast as an adulterous partner.

The court that received the attorney's arguments recognized that the client had not committed an adulterous act and issued a judgment dismissing all of the plaintiff's claims and ordering the plaintiff to bear the litigation costs as well.
