According to court documents, Kevin Howard recently won a judgment against his ex-wife's lover for"alienation of affections" — a claim that exists in just a handful of other states across the country — according to court documents.
Howard had been with his wife for 12 years. When she approached him about separating, the couple started attending marriage counseling. But something felt off, so Howard hired a private investigator, who uncovered the affair, he told CNN. "He was a colleague of hers from work," Howard said."He ate dinner with us several times, we spent time together ... I thought this was a friend.""I believe in the sanctity of marriage," he said."Other families should see what the consequences are to not only breaking the vow to whatever religion you subscribe to, but also your legal responsibilities.
