One argument against “outsourcing”... There are an increasing number of cases (and jurisdictions?) where the refuser has sued the affair partner for damages due to breaking up the marriage, and also for the amount of monies spent on the affair / AP by the refused. Especially in the case of long-term affairs, those amounts can become quite substantial. If memory serves, North Carolina is one such jurisdiction, but I think there are many others. Back to the old saw, “get legal advice and find out where you *really* stand”. I don't know about the above as relates to the laws in NC. What I do know is that we have what is called "alienation of affection" laws. That's where one can be sued by the spouse of the person one is engaging with in a affair or other relationship that supposedly siphons off the affection that would otherwise be going to the spouse. I know this because I was having sex with a woman in my old neighborhood while she was separated from her H. He threatened to sue me. She broke things off with me to remove that possibility.

worksforme2... North Carolina man wins $8.8m judgement against his wife’s lover for Alienation of Affection. Judging from the requirements, you wouldn’t have lost the suit, but you’d have spent plenty of money defending your innocence.

A quick google will show you where this (rare) "alienation of affection" action can be attempted. Of interest, the person being sued is usually the cheating spouses playmate. However, it can be tried out on family members, counselors, therapists, and religious members who have encouraged a spouse to get a divorce have also been sued for these matters. Also potentially liable in these (rare) would be members on ILIASM encouraging people to leave their shitholes. I'd suggest that the linked video is notable because it describes a very rare occurrence, thus making it newsworthy. As ever, see a lawyer in your jurisdiction. According to what I found* if you are in Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Dakota, or Utah, it might be applicable as a very slim possibility. *source = www.verywellfamily.com

DryCreek,...No, I don't think I would have lost the suit either. But she recognized I would have been out of pocket for lots of attorney fees. And it was just sex for us, there was no deep emotional connection between us. Just 2 adults who lived a few houses apart and who enjoyed f*cking each other. Alas, life can throw us a bean ball just when it seems the game is in the bag.
