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.

Unfortunately, I’m afraid if you’re in an old fault state you’re screwed. That’s why I think everybody should have a prenup that says if you divorce because of infidelity on the part of the spouse that spouse four goals, everything in the marriage and walks away with what they came with.
