What is an Adultery Lawsuit
This is a lawsuit claiming damages against a third party (the adultery partner) who engaged in an affair with one's spouse. Damages can be claimed for interfering with or disrupting the marital relationship.
Key Points
Awareness of Marital Status To establish the adultery partner's liability, it is crucial to secure evidence that they were aware of the married status at the time of the affair.
Proof of Marital Breakdown It must be proven that the affair caused the breakdown of the marriage. If the marriage was already broken down before the affair, it is difficult to establish liability.
Caution with Pre-paid Alimony If alimony has already been received from the at-fault spouse during divorce proceedings, there is a possibility that the adultery lawsuit may be dismissed.
