I'm surprised at that $50K award and would like more infomration about waht state it was in and what kind of defense this woman put up over it. I mean, think of it... the marriage may not have broken up and the guy who did the cheating may be even getting benefit of his wife receiving the $50K payment... How crazy is that!? Finally, now much was spent on laweyr's fees and investigator's costs to get to that point?
Given what I know about the costs of litigation, I'd be surprised if the wife got much out of it. It was probably money used to chase around the cheating husband, hire an investigator and computer expert to get evidence of the long distance affair, and get confirmation of the affair. For some people, absolute confirmation is so important that they will spend thier last dime to get it if they can.
I'm dying to know more behind this award and why she was able to get it.
