4. A Word from Attorney Seo Yuri 💡
This case highlights how the defendant's actions of not only engaging in an affair but also publicly disclosing the affair on social media, causing secondary harm to the victimized spouse, significantly impacted the alimony calculation. If you are suffering from a similar situation with a brazen attitude, you must obtain fair compensation through thorough evidence collection and legal response.
