Cheaters Beware

With all of the recent publicity of Tiger Woods and his alleged affair, the media unveiled a law that many people aren't aware could be done. If a person is cheating with someone who is already married, they could be served an expensive lawsuit by the spouse of their lover. These lawsuits are known as "alienation of affection," and are used to sue the person interfering in the already established marriage. Even though these suits are only allowed in seven states such as, North Carolina, New Mexico, and Illinois, they are still something to think about.

This law is rooted in older times when a wife was considered the husbands property, giving the hurt party a way to receive some sort of justice. Although in today's world these suits are only filed for the two reasons of money and revenge. Many people are watching to see if Tiger's wife will go down this path but the more interesting road will appear if any of Tiger's mistresses were married. In this article, it describes the way the husbands of Tiger's lovers could come after the insanely rich golfer.
