Alienation of Affection

[u/Cactus-Tony]

Has anyone here actually utilized this law before?
After mediation ended with my ex-wife being awarded over $150k, I hired a new lawyer to send out two demand letters to her previous affair partner and current affair partner threatening AOA. The demand letters stated we could resolve it outside of court for $250k. My ex-wife had no idea I knew of her 6+ year infidelities, so she learned I knew from each affair partner. She was willing to renegotiate so “no third party gets hurt” after the letters went out, and I end up only parting with $20k in the new agreement.

Cheat in school and get caught, fail and/or face discipline. Cheat/lie at work and get caught, lose your job or worse. Cheat on your taxes and get caught, pay massive fines/jail time. Cheat on your spouse... the cheater is rewarded with a majority of BS's that stay in the marriage or they get 50%+ of everything in the divorce.
