Hello, I'm Attorney Seo Yuri, your legal partner protecting your rights. ๐ค 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. ๐ฉ
1. Case Overview ๐
The client (Defendant) suffered the pain of her marriage breaking down due to her husband's (Plaintiff) affair. ๐ However, the husband filed a lawsuit claiming divorce and alimony, alleging the client was at fault.
2. Key Issues and Litigation Strategy โจ
-
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 ๐
-
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 ๐ฌ
Many people are hurt by the audacity of their spouse, even though their family was broken due to the spouse's fault. ๐ข 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.
