Marital infidelity disputes: How to deal with the other half's marital infidelity and protect personal property
By : Kobre & Kim LLP
Case Overview:
The case involves a couple living in California, the United States, Li Ming, a Chinese-American, and Emily, a US citizen. Li Ming is a software engineer and Emily is a marketing manager. The two met and married in California. They have a daughter. In the early years of their marriage, the two were stable, but over time, due to cultural differences and work pressures, the two gradually drifted apart. Eventually, Emily discovers that Li Ming cheated on her during their marriage, which causes great psychological trauma to her. Emily commissioned our law firm to help her recover damages and get custody of the children.
Legal Response:
Asset investigation and evidence gathering: In the initial consultation, our legal team went into detail about Emily's experience and the background of the case, collecting relevant evidence, including marriage certificates, communication records, social media screenshots, bank statements, etc. We provided professional legal advice to Emily, analyzing the legal basis of the case and possible litigation strategies.
Transnational Property Appeals: We helped Emily put together all the evidence, 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 legitimacy of evidence.
Enforcement and recovery of losses: During the trial, we elaborated on Emily's claims and legal basis, and provided sufficient evidence to support them. Li argued that his behavior did not materially affect the marriage. However, in the face of the evidence provided by Emily, including communication records, social media screenshots, and bank statements, the court found Li had committed marital infidelity, ordered 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 marital cheating behavior, but also recovered damages and won 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 disputes.
