Suwon Divorce Law Firm | Divorce Law Firm, Filing a Lawsuit Against the Affair Partner and Obtaining the Full Grant of 30 Million Won

The client of the Suwon divorce law firm wished to file a damages lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female). A divorce attorney from the law firm's Suwon branch office, who had experience with divorce cases, took the matter on and obtained 30 million won in damages.

1. The Client Who Came to the Suwon Divorce Law Firm

Client who requested damages for adultery from the Suwon divorce law firm

The client who sought assistance from the Suwon divorce law firm was very distressed after recently discovering signs of the husband's infidelity.

On a referral from an acquaintance, the client came to the Suwon branch office of Daeryun Law Firm, which has handled numerous divorce cases.

The divorce attorney at the law firm identified the case through a careful consultation with the client and asked what kind of response the client wanted.

The client first wished to pursue a damages lawsuit against the adulterous partner and to receive as much consolation money as possible.

The divorce attorney at the law firm offered the client sufficient comfort for the client's distress and undertook to prepare the damages lawsuit in order to achieve what the client wanted.

Circumstances of the Client's Case as Reviewed by the Law Firm Divorce Attorney

The client was a homemaker in an ordinary household and had maintained the marriage with her husband for nearly 17 years.

One day, however, the husband's attitude changed noticeably, and the husband's long-standing infidelity was eventually revealed.

What was more shocking was that the adulterous partner continued the relationship despite being aware that he was a married man and even displayed an attitude that disregarded the client's existence.

The client experienced very severe mental suffering.

The divorce law firm's 🔗Suwon attorney branch office, on behalf of the client, filed a claim for damages seeking 30 million won in consolation money against the adulterous partner.

What Is a Damages Lawsuit Against an Affair Partner?

A 🔗lawsuit against the adulterous partner (female) is a civil lawsuit filed against a third party who has had an improper relationship with a married person's spouse (generally the male or female affair partner), seeking consolation money for emotional suffering.

To proceed with an adultery-related 🔗damages lawsuit, the following conditions must be met.

1. The marital relationship must be ongoing
2. The other party must have engaged in the improper act despite knowing of the marriage
3. The improper act must have caused the breakdown of the marital relationship with the spouse


When calculating the amount of consolation money claimed in an adultery-related damages case, the degree of emotional and psychological suffering experienced by the victim serves as the central standard.

The type and quantity of evidence, and the specific circumstances of the marital relationship, have an important effect on determining the amount of consolation money.

Therefore, in an adultery-related damages lawsuit, proving one's suffering based on objective evidence is the most important consideration.

The Suwon divorce law firm assisted the client in filing a lawsuit for damages against the adulterous female partner.

It devised a strategy to secure evidence of the infidelity and, on that basis, to emphasize the client's emotional distress.

Law Firm Divorce Attorney Argues the Defendant's Malicious Infidelity

The divorce attorney at the divorce law firm argued that the defendant (the adulterous partner) actively interfered in the marital relationship despite knowing of it.

Although the defendant was fully aware that the client and her husband were in a legal marital relationship, far from concealing the relationship, the defendant was flaunting the relationship with the husband on social media and elsewhere.

The divorce law firm attorney submitted the defendant's social media as evidence and emphasized that the defendant had intentionally induced the breakdown of the marriage.

The defendant's social media contained countless posts of photos taken with the husband, along with statements such as, ‘That woman does not know your true self.. I am the real wife.’

Law Firm Divorce Attorney Argues That Damages Arose From the Infidelity

The defendant committed an act of infidelity, carrying on an affair for several years while knowing that the client's husband was married.

The defendant caused serious harm to the client's family, and the trust and peace of the client's family were completely destroyed.

The law firm divorce attorney emphasized that the plaintiff's 17 years of marital life had been infringed upon and brought to ruin by the defendant's act of infidelity, and that liability for damages arises.

The law firm divorce attorney emphasized that there was an obligation to provide at least monetary consolation for the suffering the client endured, and claimed payment of 30 million won in consolation money.

3. Suwon Divorce Law Firm, 30 Million Won in Consolation Money Damages Obtained

As a result of the lawsuit against the spouse's affair partner for damages handled by the Suwon divorce law firm, the client received a decision ordering payment of the full 30 million won in consolation money that had been claimed.

This was the result of the court recognizing the client's mental suffering as argued by the law firm's divorce attorney.

The client stated, "I had heard that 30 million won in consolation money is an amount often used as the upper limit of a claim and that it is rare for it to be granted in full. Thanks to the Suwon divorce attorney, I was able to obtain the full 30 million won claim."

When pursuing a lawsuit for damages due to a spouse's infidelity, proceeding alone often results in losing the case due to insufficient evidence or inadequate arguments, so it is generally best to proceed with the help of an experienced attorney.

In a lawsuit against the spouse's affair partner for damages, one must, together with legally recognized evidence, logically argue the duration of the extramarital relationship, the degree of breakdown, and the victim's mental suffering.

Daeryun Law Firm organizes the harm for the calculation of consolation money, establishes litigation strategy, and represents clients in legal procedures, doing its utmost to help clients recover from their harm.

If, like the client in the case above, you are considering a lawsuit against the spouse's affair partner for damages due to a spouse's infidelity, please reach out to Daeryun Law Firm, where experienced attorneys provide team-based responses for clients.
