The peace of a family built over nine years was shattered in an instant. Today, we introduce a case where we successfully sued the other party in an affair for damages after the family was destroyed due to the spouse's infidelity. ๐
๐ Development of the Case: The Obvious Lie of "I'm Going to Get Divorced"
The plaintiff (client) and their spouse had maintained a peaceful family for nine years, to the point where they had never even mentioned divorce. The trust was so strong that the plaintiff even agreed to take out a loan using the house as collateral when the spouse started a business.
However, everything changed when the defendant (the other party in the affair) who worked at the spouse's business appeared. The defendant tried to evade responsibility by claiming they believed the spouse's statement that "they would be getting divorced soon," but in reality, the defendant had met the plaintiff and their child in person and even exchanged greetings. They started an inappropriate relationship knowing all the facts.
๐ Shameless Attitude: "It Was the Alcohol, It Was Domestic Violence"
Even after the affair was discovered, the defendant continued to make excuses.
-
They claimed "they weren't in their right mind due to alcohol," but video footage was confirmed showing them driving to a motel without a designated driver.
-
They made the absurd claim that "they went to the motel to confide in the spouse to escape domestic violence."
-
Most of all, they showed boldness by staying by the spouse's side and continuing the affair even during the lawsuit.
๐ Court's Judgment: "Responsibility for Marital Breakdown, Damages of 20 Million Won"
The plaintiff tried to protect their family, but eventually ended up in a divorce by agreement due to the spouse's infidelity. The court held the defendant strictly liable for the following reasons:
-
The defendant engaged in an affair knowing that the spouse was married, leading to the breakdown of the marital cohabitation.
-
Comprehensive consideration of the period and extent of the affair, and its impact on the marital relationship.
Result: The court ruled that the defendant must pay the plaintiff 20 million won in damages and default interest.
