Just saw a news clip on youtube.

The H won 8.8 million from AP in a civil suite.

Alienation of affection law.

On the books in 6 states.

And people think marriage is just a vow, it's also a state contract. Sounds like a conservative state to me unlike most of the states with no fault divorce. AS. Besides infidelity what were the grounds for the 8.8 million? That's a little bit more than punitive damages if you know what I mean?

Adultery used to be a crime.

Not sure our world always moves in the right direction.

I live in a fault state so we have that law. I just filed for D (financial reasons) with adultery as grounds. Alimony and property distribution isn't supposed to be punitive but here it's up the judges discretion as to how much they want to award.

Has anyone watched that Netflix movie, "Marriage Story?" It just came out. I watched it from my new perspective and what I saw were two selfish people, either of whom could have saved the marriage with a little compromise. Instead they spent a fortune on lawyers in a custody battle and ended up settling the case themselves after all. I really hated it even though it got great reviews. Some people are struggling so hard to hold their marriages together when one side wants out. In this movie it was the guy. I felt bad for him but all he had to do was move and his marriage could have been saved. It didn't have to be permanent.
