In some states, an affair can cost your partner dearly...

I found this part fascinating:
“Huizar's attorney, Cheri Patrick, claimed her client did not break up their marriage because it was already in decline.
"Verdicts like these ignore the realities of how and why marriages fail, and remove personal responsibility for a person's own marriage," she said. "There are no winners in these cases."”

Interesting to note other stories on that linked site - "Parents Sue Son Who Won't Move Out" "Lawsuit Forces Magician To Reveal Secret" "Valedictorians Mother Sues School" "Newlyweds Bash Photographer - Forced To Pay $1m"
Almost getting to the stage of - "see a lawyer in your jurisdiction before you breathe"

Wow, the husband sounds like a real prize. Can't imagine why the marriage went south.

Wow, the husband sounds like a real prize. Can't imagine why the marriage went south. Or he was floored by finding it out and wanted to make both of them "pay". Who knows what the marriage was like. Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned. One problem with cheating is the jilted lover tends to stake the high moral ground (justified or not). It also makes an amicable split FAR less likely. The result might not be a multi million dollar Civil suit but it usually does mean fattening the wallets of the lawyers on both sides. Of course not cheating doesn't guarantee an amicable split.

The moral I get from the story is: - only get involved with a married person who is already disgruntled with his/ her marriage - if you live in NC, SAVE THE EMAILS DOCUMENTING THAT!!;

Another moral to the story is know the laws in the state you live. Mississippi is another state that the AP can be sued for breaking up the marriage. Sometimes I wonder where common sense lives in today’s world.

That is one thing I can be happy about, having a divorce in Illinois. Infidelity is nothing the courts are interested in. I just wish their alimony laws were based on contract law instead of "maintaining the standard of living to which she has become accustomed to."

I live in Florida and it appears you must get divorced at least once and I think having an affair is pretty normal for a good part of the population. That settlement amount is ridiculous.
