Marital infidelity disputes: How to deal with the other half's marital infidelity and protect personal property
By : Kobre & Kim LLP
Case Overview:
This case involves a couple living in California, USA, namely Chinese American Li Ming and American citizen Emily. Li Ming is a software engineer and Emily is a marketing manager. The two met and got married in California and have a daughter. In the early days of their marriage, their relationship was stable, but as time went on, they gradually became alienated due to cultural differences and work pressure. Eventually, Emily discovered that Li Ming had cheated on her during their marriage, which caused her great psychological trauma. Emily retained our law firm to help her recover damages and fight for custody of her child.
Legal Response:
Asset investigation and evidence gathering: During the initial consultation, our legal team learned about Emily’s experience and the background of the case in detail and collected relevant evidence, including marriage certificates, communication records, social media screenshots, bank statements, etc. We provided Emily with professional legal advice and analyzed the legal basis of the case and possible litigation strategies.
Transnational Property Appeals:
We assisted Emily in organizing all the evidence materials, including marriage certificates, communication records, social media screenshots, bank statements, etc. At the same time, we contacted relevant telecom operators and social media platforms to obtain more detailed records and reports to ensure the integrity and legality of the evidence.
Enforcement and recovery of losses:
During the trial, we elaborated on Emily’s claims and legal basis in detail and provided sufficient evidence to support them. Li Ming argued that his behavior did not cause any substantial impact on the marriage. However, in the face of evidence provided by Emily, such as communication records, social media screenshots, and bank statements, the court found that Li Ming had committed extramarital affairs, sentenced him to pay damages, and awarded custody of the child to Emily.
Outcome and Summary:
Through our professional legal services, Emily not only successfully exposed Li Ming's extramarital affair, but also recovered damages and obtained custody of the child. The successful handling of this case not only restored Emily's dignity, but also provided a useful reference for similar emotional dispute cases.
