1. Case Overview

The client experienced immense psychological distress upon discovering the defendants' brazen infidelity. Despite causing irreparable damage that led to the breakdown of the marriage, the defendants focused solely on evading responsibility rather than showing remorse. The opposing party even attempted to escape their obligation to pay compensation by making the absurd claim that "the marriage was already ruined at the time of the infidelity." Amidst feelings of injustice and anger, the client sought out Law Firm Theo to claim rightful compensation and restore their rights.
 

 

The core of this case was sharply dismantling the opposing party's audacious logic of a "prior marital breakdown" and strongly appealing the gravity of the infidelity to the court. Law Firm Theo strategically provided close assistance as follows:

• Complete Blocking of the "Ruined Marriage" Frame: The most common excuse perpetrators make in adultery lawsuits is claiming they "thought the relationship was already over" or "the marriage was ruined." Theo's dedicated legal team sharply analyzed the loopholes in the weak evidence presented by the opposing party, logically impeaching their claims as mere excuses to avoid responsibility.
• Proving Tort Liability Through Meticulous Legal Construction: We clearly established the opposing party's tort liability for infringing upon and interfering with the maintenance of the joint marital life. We cool-headedly controlled the situation to prevent it from escalating into an emotional dispute, pressuring the opposing party solely with objective and powerful logic the court had to acknowledge.
• Three-Dimensional Proof of Damage Scale and Compensation Maximization Strategy: We comprehensively appealed to the court regarding the details of the infidelity, the defendants' absolute level of responsibility for the breakdown, and their unremorseful attitude during the lawsuit, thereby clearly proving the depth of the client's psychological distress.

 

As a result of Law Firm Theo's thorough defense and aggressive pleading, the court dismissed and rejected the opposing party's claim that "the marriage was already ruined" due to lack of evidence. Consequently, the court clearly acknowledged the defendants' tort liability caused by their infidelity and ruled in favor of the client, ordering the payment of a high compensation of 30,000,000 KRW along with damages for delay. Thanks to Law Firm Theo's assistance, the client was able to resolve their sense of injustice and hold the perpetrators legally accountable.
