Hello, this is Attorney Seo Yuri, your reliable legal advocate. 👩💼
Today, I would like to introduce a successful case where we obtained a ₩20,000,000 won judgment for emotional distress against a mistress who had an affair with a married man she met through an online game.
1. Case Overview 🔍
The plaintiff (client) was an ordinary housewife with three children. One day, her husband's behavior became suspicious, and upon investigation, it was revealed that her husband had been having an inappropriate relationship with the defendant, whom he met through an online game.
The defendant continued the relationship knowing that the other party was a married man with a spouse, and even after being discovered by the plaintiff, she boldly tried to maintain the relationship by changing her contact information. 💔
2. Attorney's Assistance and Response Strategy 🛡️
The defendant's side claimed, "The relationship started with the husband's active courtship," and "The relationship has already been resolved," attempting to evade responsibility and arguing for a reduction in the amount of compensation for emotional distress. In response, we strongly refuted as follows:
-
Proof of Active Infidelity: We pointed out that despite meeting online, she did not refuse and maintained the relationship, and that the claim that the husband approached her first could not be an excuse.
-
Deceptiveness of Maintaining the Relationship: We presented evidence (KakaoTalk, messages, etc.) of secretly contacting each other even after being discovered, proving that the defendant's remorse was not sincere.
-
Emphasis on the Pain of Family Breakdown: We appealed to the court about the extreme mental distress the plaintiff was experiencing while raising three children and the impossibility of recovering her shattered daily life.
3. Judgment Result ⚖️
The court accepted my arguments and issued the following judgment:
"The defendant shall pay the plaintiff ₩20,000,000 won as compensation for emotional distress!" 💰
The court clearly acknowledged that the plaintiff's marital cohabitation was infringed upon due to the defendant's infidelity and held the defendant heavily responsible.
📍 Closing Remarks
For those struggling to protect their families, a spouse's infidelity leaves an indelible scar. However, holding the other party accountable through legal procedures can be the first step in healing the wound.
