What do I need to file for an adultery charge? If your partner is unfaithful, you don’t need to physically exert yourself, and you don’t have to hurt yourself either—just file a lawsuit against them. 

The process of filing for adultery charges

1. First you must bring a certificate of marriage. According to civil laws you can sue your partner for male or female adultery and request for compensation without needing to file for a divorce. 
2. You must possess clear evidence which proves said case of adultery; for example, images of such interactions, videos, transferring receipts, and the name of the person your partner is having the affair with.  
3. Be aware that the presented evidence is an effective proof for one year period, from the day you acknowledge the compensation case’s expiry (also one year). Similarly, the filing for divorce should take place within one year after your acknowledgement of said adultery, or else it will be presumed as negligence or unwillingness to take actions. Currently, adultery lawsuits do not take a long time to settle; usually within a three to five months period, inclusive of the processes of filing the case, hearing pleas, mediation, and consideration.    

Cautions

You must first make sure that you have collected a sufficient amount of solid evidence against said adultery before filing the suit, otherwise your case may be dismissed by the court and even charged back for attempted defamation. You should be conscientious about taking this legal action, as doing it for the sake of sole entertainment is advised against.

Very Important! These are the common cases of adultery presented to the court. 

1. Involuntary, unpremeditated adultery; your partner may conceal or hide their current marital status to the subject; the spousal relationship is unbeknownst to the subject.  
2. Voluntary, premeditated adultery; the subject is aware of the marital status of your partner, and is aware of his spouse’s (your) existence. 
3. Malicious adultery; this is when the subject intends to or actively causes harm to you and your partner’s marital relationship through exposure and harassment. In this situation, you must make sure all the necessary evidence is collected to file a case against them. For better chances of winning said case, you should have a lawyer who can work with a private investigator focusedly on this matter.
