Seducing Someone's Spouse? It May Cost You
A Mississippi millionaire must pay $750,000 to the man whose wife he stole away, after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case.
Sandra Valentine had been married to plumber Johnny Valentine for four years when she began working for Holly Springs, Miss., businessman Jerry Fitch Sr.
Within a year, Sandra and Fitch, who was also married, began an affair. When Sandra got pregnant, Johnny, who suspected she was cheating, ordered a paternity test, which showed he was not the father.
Johnny filed for divorce and then sued Fitch, claiming "alienation of affection," or, in other words, stealing his wife's love.
Johnny won more than $750,000 in state court, and the verdict was upheld by the state Supreme Court. Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, ending Fitch's appeal.
*snip*
Sandra said, however, that she believes the lawsuit is about one thing for her ex-husband.
"Just the money," she said. "He had already alienated my affection with gambling, so the marriage was already over before I met Jerry. So he's wrong."
Yeah, it's not her fault she was sleeping with another man. :whatever:

She is lucky she did not get shot. An ex g.f. of mine shot and killed her boyfriend for cheating on her.

I think the legal term is 'alienation of affection'.

Yep, she had a pill popping problem with legal drugs I could not handle.

In our house it is generally known that alienation of affection comes with a very high and painful price. I don't have a conversion chart handy but I think 750,000 bucks maybe less than the price of a full clip of ammo. :uhsure:
