[quote]I can't imagine any sane judge would find for the plantif in a case like this. After all, the cheating spouse is far more to blame than the other woman/man. I doubt very seriously she forced him to have the affair in any way. Your best bet is to try and hit him as hard as you can in the divorce if you live in a "fault" state...
The only people out there that really have any real legal recourse are the ones who's spouses or "other woman/man" happen to be in the military. Adultry is a UCMJ punishable offense, and they do tend to take it pretty seriously. I saw a few people get in quite a bit of trouble over it when I was in the military... [/quote]
Ha! I wish that were true across the board. My STBX cheated and is still living with his coworker who is still married to a soldier!! You know what I was told? They won't get in trouble since it caused no problems in the unit. They are only going after higher ups/lower enlisted now.
I was a servicemember also, and if my superiors found out my *ss would have been nailed to the wall.
I just read about a woman suing the mistress in NC and winning. She won, but of course has little chance in getting the money. Just the satisfaction alone would be worth it for me- but I wouldn't do it personally, I have way too much going on in my life and I'm ready to move on.
