Co-Respondent
The 'other man' or 'other woman' named in the court papers for a fault divorce alleging adultery is called the co-respondent.

Is also used in other types of civil actions to designate one of multiple parties that may need to respond to the action (though more often such parties are referred to as co-defendants).
