'Adultery with Two Wife's Friends' Health Trainer Husband, How Much Will the Alimony Be Set At?

If There Are Multiple Adulterers, Filing a Joint Lawsuit Leads to Faster Settlement

The story of a male personal trainer husband who cheated with two of his wife's friends has been revealed.

On the 20th, YTN Radio's 'Attorney Yang So-young's Counseling Center' featured the story of a full-time housewife, Ms. A, who said, "I want to divorce my husband who has been having an affair with two of my friends for over a year." Her husband is a trainer and the owner of a gym.

Ms. A encouraged her friends to register at the gym as a way to help her husband’s business. Her friends naturally became close to her husband after registering at the gym. Ms. A often invited these friends, who had registered at the gym, to her home for gatherings.

By chance, Ms. A came across one of her friends' names in the missed calls on her husband's phone. Although puzzled, she thought it was probably about a personal question related to exercise and let it go.

A few months later, while having a gathering at home with her husband and friends, Ms. A realized that the friend who had made missed calls to her husband was not present. Shockingly, the two were in the master bedroom of Ms. A’s house.

Ms. A sat her husband and the friend down in the living room and asked for the full story in front of everyone. The friend confessed that she had started to develop romantic feelings for the husband, and he had accepted them, leading to secret meetings.

The shock did not end there. Another friend present at the scene pointed a finger at the husband and raised her voice, saying, "How could you deceive me?" The husband had been cheating with two of his wife's friends for over a year.

Ms. A expressed, "I want to divorce my husband and also file a lawsuit against the adulterers. I also want to spread rumors so that he cannot operate a gym in this neighborhood."

Attorney Lee Chae-won, who heard the story, explained, "In cases like Ms. A’s, where the spouse has multiple adulterers, a lawsuit for alienation of affection can be filed against each adulterer individually if their infidelity is proven." This means Ms. A can claim damages separately from each adulterer. Of course, for convenience, she can also file a lawsuit against multiple adulterers at once.

Attorney Lee added, "When all are defendants, the complaint lists the infidelity of each defendant, which can make the adulterers feel burdened and sometimes leads to a quick settlement of damages."

Regarding whether having multiple adulterers means receiving more damages, she said, "Having two adulterers does not mean you can receive twice the amount of damages compared to having one."

However, she explained, "The court assesses the facts and may adjust the amount of damages depending on who is primarily responsible for the infidelity. In the husband’s case, if not only infidelity but also other fault-based causes of marital breakdown are recognized, these factors can be added, resulting in relatively higher damages."
