<\/div>\n
A man has successfully sued his cheating wife’s lover for $750,000. Heartbroken Kevin Howard had been married to his wife for 12 years when he discovered she had been having an affair.<\/div>\n
From North Carolina, U.S.A., went on to use an old law called ‘alienation of affection’ to sue the man his now-ex wife had cheated on him with.<\/div>\n
The ‘homewrecker’ law allows a spouse to sue another person for “purposefully interfering with the marital relationship” and ‘wooing their partner away’.<\/div>\n
Kevin said he wanted to pursue his claim to preserve the “sanctity of marriage”.<\/div>\n
Now-divorced Kevin described how his marriage had started to struggle after 12 years, prompting him and his then wife to attend marriage counselling.<\/div>\n
But Kevin said something ‘felt off’, so he hired a private detective to determine if his wife was cheating.<\/div>\n
He went on to discover his wife was having an affair with a colleague from work who had visited their home for dinner “several times”, reports [**CNN**](https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2019\/10\/02\/us\/alienation-of-affection-laws-north-carolina-lawsuit-trnd\/index.html) .<\/div>\n
> _He said: “We spent time together – I thought this was a friend.”_<\/div>\n
Describing the moment he learnt of her infidelity, Kevin said: “It was like someone calling you and telling you a family member had suddenly and tragically died.”<\/div>\n
> _”I filed the case because I feel it’s important people understand the sanctity of marriage is important- especially in this day and age when people question everyone’s morals and viability as a person – and the state backed me up on that.”_<\/div>\n
If Kevin’s ex-wife’s lover is unable to immediately pay, it will go on his record as an unpaid debt.<\/div>\n
