"Dear, why do you keep renaming the bird?" Hilarious!! Or How many birds are you going to buy? I think I'm going to get me some fish. I can have a whole bunch of names. I wonder if my wife will think it strange that all the fish have female names? |

In a few jurisdictions your lover can be on the hook for a civil suit from your spouse. I looked in to this once: I think that is called "suing for alienation of affections": the concept being if some man woos my wife away from me, I can sue HIM for causing my wife's affections toward me to dwindle; he has harmed me, and I can take this recourse. I think that is a VERY OLD course of legal action, and -- as far as I understood in my research -- is either officially abolished or basically toothless for all intents and purposes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alienation_of_affectionsThat's right, it means *anyone*, not even necessarily a lover, even a meddlesome mother in law, can be sued for damages if you can convince a judge they ruined your marriage. At least in NC the law is alive and well. From the same article: Million dollar verdicts have not been uncommon in North Carolina for alienation of affection and emotional distress.[6] In March 2010, a wife won a $9 million suit against her husband's mistress.[7] In another 2010 case, a wife successfully sued her former friend who allegedly seduced her husband while the friend was visiting the couple at their North Carolina home, resulting in the second highest award ever received in such suits.[8] A Mecklenburg County jury awarded $1.4 million in May 2001 to a former wrestling coach against P, after the coach's wife left him for P (the jury verdict was later reduced by the NC Court of Appeals as excessive). A year 2000 verdict of $86,250 for alienation of affections and $15,000 for criminal conversation in the case of Pharr v. Beck, from Burke county was upheld on appeal. In 1997, in the case of Hutelmyer v. Cox, the Plaintiff wife was awarded $1 million against her husband's secretary who "dressed sexy at work" and had an affair with him destroying their marriage.[6] |

You would think if the partner stood up in court and said they hadn't had sex in years it would be hard to argue that affections weren't pretty well alienated already.

It's ok for you to make your spouse's life a living hell. It's just not ok (in some jurisdictions) for someone else to do it. Then there's annulment. I wonder if anyone ever tried to get an annulment based on the fact that they were bait and switched. Sure fits the requirements: The cause of action for annulment of a voidable marriage in New York State is generally fraud (DRL §140 (e)). There are other arguments; see the Statute. Fraud generally means the intentional deception of the Plaintiff by the Defendant in order to induce the Plaintiff to marry. The misrepresentation must be substantial in nature, and the Plaintiff's consent to the marriage predicated on the Defendant’s statement. The perpetration of the fraud (prior to the marriage), and the discovery of the fraud (subsequent to the marriage) must be proven by corroboration of a witness or other external proof, even if the Defendant admits guilt (DRL §144). The time limit is three years (not one year). This does not run from the date of the marriage, but the date the fraud was discovered, or could reasonably have been discovered. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulment |

But I didn't have the funds to digit it and I just wanted to be done asap. If he turned it nasty and didn't sign papers, I would have amended my petition |

The wife sued her and won. Was awarded $10,000.00 about 5 years ago. This typically only happens in southern states now as I understand it. They are also the states that have not converted to no fault divorce and care whether or not somebody was sleeping with somebody else when it comes to division of property and even custody of the children. It's important to know the laws in your state to be sure you aren't screwing more than a new friend. |
