1. Case Overview 🔍
After discovering her spouse's infidelity, the client (plaintiff) had already filed two lawsuits for damages against the adulterer (defendant) and won both cases. However, instead of showing remorse after the judgments, the adulterer brazenly continued the inappropriate relationship, visiting the spouse's residence, living together, and grocery shopping together. As a result, the client decided to file a third lawsuit to hold the adulterer accountable once again.
2. Opposing Arguments and Rebuttals 🛡️
During the trial, the adulterer attempted to evade responsibility by arguing the following:
-
"The marriage was already irretrievably broken as the spouse had been separated for over two years."
-
"The plaintiff is abusing the legal system by filing lawsuits solely for revenge."
However, our lawyers clearly pointed out that the adulterer and the spouse's continued infidelity was the primary cause of the marital breakdown. Furthermore, we emphasized that the client maintained communication through their children and had not abandoned the intention to maintain the marriage, thereby refuting the opposing party's claims point by point.
3. Court's Decision ⚖️
The court accepted our lawyers' arguments and rendered the following judgment:
-
Recognition of Continued Infidelity: Failure to end the relationship even after two prior judgments for alimony constitutes a clear illegal act.
-
Rejection of Marital Breakdown Argument: Even if the spouse's separation period was lengthy, the adulterer did not show sufficient consideration to offset their culpability, and as long as the relationship, which is the main cause of the discord, continues, it is difficult to conclude that the marriage is completely broken.
-
Specification of Liability for Damages: The adulterer is obligated to compensate the client for the mental distress suffered.
