North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state. After 1 year separation either spouse can obtain a divorce. I have 3 years to bring suit against them for adultery and Aleination of Affection. I have spoken to another attorney to see if I had a chance at a lawsuit and she said circumstantial evidence was there and you do not have to prove sexual relations in aleination. She said I definitely have emotional distress and I could possibly win a judgement against her. The only thing is that my husband does not have any assets. We enjoyed life and he has 2 credit cards that he is primary on and I was authorized user on those and they have pretty big balances. I may have to forfeit his Pension and 401 in exchange for these cards if he will agree to pay these debts. On the other hand, the house she lives in is in her parents name and I can't touch that. I could win a judgement and place it on their house after they build but her parents are loaded and the newlyweds may pay cash. Therefore. the judgement could stay on the house indefinitely and I would have to update it every 7 to 10 years with a chance I would never get paid. So here I am, tossed to the curb again and will end up selling my new house, walking away with no retirement and maybe a little alimony for 1/2 of the total years we were married. We do not have any kids, my kids are grown and married so that's good and when the divorce is final, I am going to go back to my maiden name. I am active in the community and never intend to be associated with him or give him any credit for my future acheivements. I am still hurt and don't understand how this happened. I really trusted him. The PI was after he left and you are right. It was expensive but worth it. Will it help? Who knows. It seems like the legal system protects the guilty ones not the ones that are have been wronged. Criminal and civil cases seem to work the same. All the attorneys need is a loophole. Don't know how some people sleep at night knowing what they have helped some spouses get away with all the deceit and hurt they inflict on the ones left in the cold.
