Hello, this is Attorney Seo Yuri. 😊
Today, I would like to introduce a case where we filed a claim for damages against a woman who had an affair with the plaintiff's husband for about three years after meeting him as a colleague, and legally recognized the plaintiff's pain. This case focused on 'restoring a shattered daily life' that was revealed in the process, rather than the judgment itself.
📍 The Beginning of the Case: "My Precious Daily Life Has Collapsed"
The plaintiff was a wise wife who had trusted and relied on her husband for over 10 years and had a close relationship with her husband's family like a daughter. However, the defendant, a colleague of her husband, approached him knowing that he was married, and their inappropriate relationship lasted for as long as three years.
📍 The Agent's Key Strategy: "Preventing Evasion of Responsibility and Proving the Depth of Damage"
During the lawsuit, the defendant claimed, "It was because of the other party's active courtship" and "I am in financial difficulty," trying to minimize her fault and reduce the amount of alimony.
Our legal team persuaded the court by emphasizing the following points. 🛡️
-
Continuous and Repetitive Infidelity: Three years is by no means a short time. We proved that this period would have been impossible without the defendant's definitive intention.
-
Destruction of the Family Community: We highlighted the extreme mental distress the plaintiff suffered as she severed ties not only with her husband but also with her beloved in-laws.
-
Patience as a Mother: We emphasized that the plaintiff's choice to maintain the marital relationship for the sake of her child was not 'forgiveness' but a 'desperate effort' to protect the family, thereby asserting that the defendant's responsibility was not light.
📍 The Conclusion of the Case: "A Judgment That Soothes a Wounded Heart"
The court clearly acknowledged that the defendant's actions were a clear tort. Despite the various reasons for reduction claimed by the defendant, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, taking seriously the mental distress suffered by the plaintiff and the duration of the infidelity.
📍 A Word from the Attorney 🤝
The amount of alimony alone will not be able to wash away all the emotional wounds suffered by the plaintiff. However, clearly pointing out the other party's fault within the bounds of the law is a precious first step towards healing and standing up again.
If you are going through a difficult time with feelings of betrayal and despair, don't worry alone. I will fight alongside you to the end and represent your sincerity. ✨
