A womans paramour has been ordered to pay $750,000 in damages to her ex-husband.
On Aug. 19, a Pitt County, N.C., Superior Court judge decided that Greg Jernigan must pay Robert Kevin Howard for sleeping with his wife, according to court records.
I filed the case because I felt its very important that people understand that the sanctity of marriage is important, especially in this day and age when people question everyones morals, people question everyones viability as a person, he told WITN. And the state backed me up on it.

IMO, he should have just let it go and move on. He found out, hopefully on the cheap, what he had. He was the first street car that came along and when it slowed down, she jumped off. He should be thankful he did not end up with an STD (hopefully not anyway).
Proverbs 6:34
For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance
Could have gone worse for him
“With her great persuasion she entices him; she lures him with her flattering lips. He follows her on impulse, like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer bounding into a trap, until an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snarenot knowing it will cost him his life”

i agree. The wife cheated, the husband should not expect the lover to respect their wedding vows. She disrespected the vows.
altho, i do hate people that chase after married folk. Go find someone single to pant after.
These “alienation of affection” lawsuits were common years ago, but most states don’t allow them today. - Tom
Tortious interference.
The man injected himself into the marriage. His choice, his doom.
I actually think it’s a great decision.
Actions have consequences.
As far as I’m concerned, the only reasonable defense is that you didn’t know she was married.
You stole my wife, you horse thief!
And that should cost him $750,000 or even $0.75 why exactly?
why should there be a legal consequence to a personal matter? And why isnt the ex wife the one paying?
He should have sued his harlot wife. If this verdict stands, there’ll soon be herds of wealthy cucks roaming the fruited plain.
The paramour is lucky. It wasn’t that long ago he would have been challenged to a duel.
Nah. No woman is worth losing your freedom over.
It’s not a legal matter. It’s a civil matter. It’s civil court. Lawsuit.
You can sue anybody for anything. But it doesn’t mean you will win.
You can’t sue your spouse for doing bad things or divorcing you. But apparently you can sue someone for convincing your spouse to leave you while also banging them. That last part is the key.
Like I said, the only defense should be ‘I didn’t know they had a spouse.”
In this case, the couple were married for 12 years and had two kids. The local school district assigned the wife to be the "mentor" of the male snake (who was a new teacher in town). Eventually they consummated their professional-turned-private relationship. The husband confronted his wife, she acknowledged the affair, they went for counseling but they broke up.
Of course the ex-wife is culpable but the snake isn't an innocent player. Pardon me if I don't cry a river. Amongst all the injustices in the world, seeing an actor in one of the most vile acts of immorality lose a civil case on that matter with a $750k consequence ranks low on my list of "things that will trigger me."
I checked first after that...
There’s a case where a woman sued her husband’s lover (then wife) for “alienation of affection” (IIRC). She won, too.
