I have a friend, she is married to an American. He cheated, can she sue him even though he isn’t Japanese ?

1. Ask a lawyer lol

   Also, sad news. US people are hit and miss, she got unlucky.

2. Yes.

   Can he just say F it and skip out without paying? Also yes, as long as he doesn’t come back to Japan.

4. No, he must be Japanese and blood types must be confirmed from saliva samples.

5. Yes you….I mean she can sue him. Make sure you…I mean tell her to gather as much evidence and go speak to a lawyer.

   Good luck!

6. Yes. She should get a lawyer. Her husband isn’t exempt from the law simply because he isn’t Japanese.

7. Well, I think it helps if it broke up the marriage…

8. It would be helpful if you could specify the ethnicity of your friend, and if they were married in Japan or elsewhere if they are both foreigners

9. You people and your suing😂

10. I often see wife cheating in JP-US family. but In this case, those should be call inverse NTR ?

11. Jesus Christ

12. I feel like we are missing half of the story.

    * Who is the victim and where is she from?
    * Are you sure he cheated on her or are you just taking her (your friend’s?) word for it?
    * What are their visa statuses?

    There are several options, especially if you speak Japanese.

13. redditors here lurking trying to find out if they are in danger of being sued

14. I thought Japanese people are the smartest

15. Sue for what?

16. Not sure if he’s military but I heard its always a difficult battle when they are. Something about its hard to get a lawyer thats well versed in both japan and the other country and willing to take you on.

17. Sue for what? Over 2/3 of Japanese husbands cheat at least once

18. Just got to know yesterday that a situation like OP falls under the category of “socially accepted behavior.”

    I know how it sounds !

    I am still recovering.
