Hello, I'm Attorney Seo Yuri, your legal partner protecting your rights. π€ Today, I'm introducing a successful case where we successfully defended against a divorce claim filed by a spouse who committed adultery and secured alimony, property division, and custody. π©
1. Case Overview π
The client (Defendant) suffered the pain of her marriage breaking down due to her husband's (Plaintiff) affair. π However, the husband filed a lawsuit claiming divorce and alimony, alleging the client was at fault.
2. Key Issues and Litigation Strategy β¨
-
Defense against Faulty Spouse: We proved that there was no evidence of the client's alleged adultery or assault, as claimed by the husband.
-
Counterclaim: We filed a counterclaim based on the breakdown of the marriage due to the husband's affair, seeking alimony.
-
Securing Property Division: Although the apartment acquired during the marriage was in the husband's name, we actively argued for the client's contribution to household chores and childcare, including it in the property division.
-
Child's Welfare: We emphasized that the client had been stably raising the child during the separation period to secure parental rights and custody.
3. Court Ruling π

Husband's Divorce Claim Dismissed: The husband's original claim as the faulty spouse was not accepted.
-
Alimony of 30,000,000 KRW Awarded: The full amount of alimony was awarded, holding the husband responsible for his affair.

Property Division of 223,000,000 KRW Secured: The client received a fair share based on her contribution.

Custody and Child Support: The client was designated as the child's custodial parent and guardian, and a ruling was made for the payment of past and future child support.
4. Closing Remarks π¬
Many people are hurt by the audacity of their spouse, even though their family was broken due to the spouse's fault. π’ This case reaffirms that a divorce claim by a spouse who committed adultery is strictly limited, and that the contribution to assets formed during the marriage must be fairly evaluated.
